Michael Osei Wants Normalization Committee To Be Given More Time

Star Madrid coach, Michael Osei, has called on Ghana football stakeholders to give the Ghana FA Normalisation Committee ample time to complete their mandate and ensure sanity in the local game.

According to the former Asante Kotoko and Liberty Professionals head coach, he sometimes sympathises with the four-member committee, looking at the job Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has assigned them to perform for a period of six months.

In September this year, FIFA appointed the four-member committee to help restore Ghana football to its normalcy after premiering of the investigative piece by Anas Aremayaw Anas’ Number 12' video which uncovered the rot in Ghana Football.

The committee which is led by Dr Kofi Amoah is expected to review the GFA Statutes, and conduct fresh elections for the Executive Committee and Presidency of the Association and also do a forensic audit of the GFA accounts.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the Black Meteors assistant coach said: “I entreat everyone to be patient with the Normalisation Committee. The work is a difficult task and it will take some time for the committee to complete it.

"I believe the six months it is too short. Ghana football went bad so the committee needs more time to be able to address the issues and make things better”.

However, Osei advised the Normalisation Committee to speed up its work to avoid unnecessary pressure.

“I entreat them (Normalisation Committee) to work faster to avoid being pressured by the public, which may cause them to lose focus in their line of work”.
