Wydad Athletic Club Technical Director, Aboubakar Quattara has taken a swipe at Ghanaian top-flight clubs over the treatment of their players.

The Moroccan powerhouse crashed out Hearts of Oak 6-1 in the reverse game of the Caf Champions League despite losing by a lone goal in the first leg tie in Accra.

But according to Quattara, Ghanaian clubs must begin to pay players good salaries ahead of their CEOs.

“Ghanaian clubs must stop pampering Chief Executives more than footballers. It’s totally disrespectful to the new trends of football," he told Accra based Happy FM.

You can’t be paying players $300-500$ while CEO takes $5000-$10,000. When the player complains about salaries, then you say he’s indisciplined.

“Here nobody goes to training in the team bus. Players are well catered for and they all have their cars. Nobody even reports to the Club Chairman for their salaries.

Quattara continued: “I find it shocking that Ghanaian top clubs are still practising the 1970s strategies of football.

“Players still struggle while administrators with their nice suits enjoys all the money.”

Hearts of Oak will now play Algerian side, JS Souara in the playoffs of the Caf Confederations Cup.
