The CAF-licensed Coaches Association of Ghana has impressed upon the sports minister - designate, Nii Lante Vanderpuye, to develop a good relationship with indigenous football coaches as a means of encouraging locals to develop.
The General Secretary of the association, Mr Ken Augustt, said while the knowledge and experience of the minister-designate in sports and football in particular were not in doubt, the association would welcome a collaboration that would enhance opportunities for local coaches.
He said the change at the sports ministry should not be a change for the sake of it, but impressed upon the incoming minister to bring his experience and knowledge to bear on the sport of football in particular.
Mr Augustt, himself an experienced football coach, said the Member of Parliament for Odododiodioo had good knowledge of the terrain he was about to preside over, and said improving the various national teams and the local football leagues should be pursued with utmost seriousness to overcome challenges that appear to threaten local football currently.
He said the association welcomed the minister-designate with open arms knowing he was one of their own.
