Remember me:  ‘Golden Boy’ Abdul Razak’s message to Kwesi Nyantakyi

Remember me: Golden Boy Abdul Razaks message to Kwesi Nyantakyi
22.06.2015 LISTEN

Abdul Razak, nicknamed the Golden Boy thinks it is about time the Nyantakyi led Ghana FA offered him a national team job because his track record speaks for him.

The renowned coach is of the view that all his peers have been given a trial since Kwesi Nyantakyi assumed office as the GFA boss in 2005, but it seems he has been forgotten and is as a result of that reminding the GFA of his availability for any national team assignment.

'I don't know why the GFA don't consider me any time they give national team coaching appointments," Abdul Razak told Allsports.com.gh.

'Sometimes, I think they have forgotten me, because all the other coaches I started coaching with or even started coaching before I did have been looked at.

'My records are explicit enough to show what I am capable of doing as a coach, hence any time I travel outside the country they begin to question why I am not handling any of the national teams?

Abdul Razak recently returned to Ghana after he mutually terminated his contract with cash-strapped Al Merghani, who play in the Sudanese league.

He was the first coach to win the Ghana Premier League for Asante Kotoko in 2003 following ten years of going trophy less in the league and won four titles with Malian side Stade De Malian De Bamako.

The 1978 Africa Cup of nations winning player became Black Stars assistant coach in 2001 and has since been an outsider to any job at the Ghana FA.
