You can easily influence Ghanaian coaches excerpt Bashir Hayford - Coach JE Sarpong

Veteran Ghanaian coach, JE Sarpong has alleged that most coaches in the country can easily be influenced with the exception of Legon Cities coach, Bashir Hayford.

According to the former Ebusua Dwarfs and Great Olympics gaffer, most of them due to fear of losing their jobs kowtow to their employers.

“We need coaches who are bold and cannot be influenced in their team selection. In Ghana only a few coaches are bold. I, Coach Edusei, Afranie, and most of them are late", Coach Sarpong said in an interview with Accra based Happy FM.

“With our current coaches, most of them are not bold with the exception of Bashiru Hayford and Karim Zito. With Zito, I will say there is a doubt because of his affiliation to the current administration. In those days you cannot dictate to me, Coach Afranie and Coach Herbert Addo," he added.

Sarpong commended Bashiru Hayford and Karim Zito as are the only two coaches that will not allow any administrator or FA top official to influence their call-ups or team selection.

He added that the Black Stars can win the Africa Cup of Nations title if only the right players are selected for the tournament.

Coach Bashir Hayford is preparing his team, Legon Cities in their upcoming game against leaders of the Ghana Premier League log, Great Olympics in the matchday 19 games.
