Ex-Ghana defender Sam Johnson wants Avram Grants fired as Black Stars coach.
Johnson, capped 45 times by Ghana, believes the former Chelsea manager has not done enough to bring competition to the team since he replaced Kwesi Appiah.
Grant has come under incessant pressure after the country's shaky start in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars were forced to a disappointing 0-0 draw against Uganda to pile more misery on the Israeli.
And the former Anderlecht and Fenerbahçe towering centre-back wants the ex-West Ham manager sacked.
“I don’t know the kind of work he is doing. He always travels outside to Europe in the name on monitoring Ghanaian players but we always see the same faces,” he spoke to Hot FM.
“He must justify why he is being bad that huge sum of money. Kwesi Appiah would have been sacked a long time ago if he was getting this kind of results but we have chosen to maintain this coach.
“Burkard Ziese made several chances in the Black Stars team, he was able to transform many players. Which players have this Coach been able to transform?”
Grant has strongly hinted he will not extend his contract with the West Africans when it expires in February next year.

This is what baffles my mind when people who are supposed to know better are talking like serial callers. We live in a nation where Grass root Football is totally collapsed. The FA/Government doesn't care about developing talents. The league is nothing to write home about. We couldn't even get sponsorship to begin with. look at how curuption is the other of the day in our league centres. We have the FA who is fighting with the Sports Ministry. Yet we blame Avram for the everything? We can't be serious. I heard Kwaku Yeboah asking coach Sarpong if Avram Grant been organising training for local coaches as part of what the FA contracted him to do. And he said no! Must this be organised by Avram or must the FA have programme for the year where it will be mandatory for the coach to do that? In any serious community; Job Descriptions are given; Targets are Set and Plans are laid to achieve the Targets. Check with with all the Advanced FAs and you will testify to what I'm talking about. It sad to hear some of this so called Sports Presenters and how they analyse and criticise. I hope they will sit one day and listen to how F00OLISH they sound with their arguments and submissions. Instead of channelling the opportunity to call for accountability and grass root development of the game with all the money people have been squandering, they just talk about the coach this, the coach that! How can you build a better house without a good foundation? I remember all the various radio presenters calling for Avram Grant to stay in Ghana, what must he stay to monitor? Any games ongoing in Ghana? How many local players are in the national team? The local league is collapsed but we don't hold anybody accountable. Where are the Cost Leagues? All lands are sold for stores and properties. SAD for Ghana!!!!
