Ex-Ghana forward Matthew Amoah tells Ghana FA to choose competency over colour for Black Stars job

Former Black Stars striker Matthew Amoah has impelled the Ghana Football Association (GFA) not to bow to the public pressure to appoint a local coach but rather consider a competent coach for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.

A six-member committee has been mandated by the Ghana FA to headhunt a suitable replacement for Avram Grant, who departed the role after the expiration of his contract last month.

And many pundits are calling on the Ghana FA to appoint a local trainer for the job, but former Black Stars and Dortmund poacher has urged the FA replace the Israeli with a competent over colour.

'Ghana need a good Coach whether Black,White,Green or yellow,we just need a good trainer to coach the boys because for me color does not matter,' Amoah told Starr FM.

'If we have a good coach who can lead and control the players for it will be fine.'
