Coach Herbert Addo FIRES club owners for recent firing of coaches

Published on: 13 May 2016

Former Inter Allies coach Herbert Addo has ripped into Ghanaian club administrators and owners for recent firing of coaches in the league.

According to Herbert Addo who recently parted ways with Inter Allies, the club administrators here in Ghana don’t know football.

Aside Herbert Addo leaving Inter Allies- Nurudeen Amadu, David Duncan and JE Sarpong have all parted company with their respective clubs.

The veteran trainer feels most managers are been sacked because they are incompetent but uninformed decisions by club owners.

"Maybe the chairman of the club don't know football. He sees the players, he knows the players but he doesn't know football,” he said in an interview with Kapital Radio in Kumasi.

“So when, let say Tom Strand wants to teach his players or let them understand they (clubs administrators) won't allow because of different mentality.

“When you get frustrated, you go to sleep somewhere. We have trained as instructors.

“Myself, coach Emmanuel Afranie and lot of them are not getting the jobs so how do they practice, how do they advance?

“How much are you paid because most clubs, most managers do not respect coaches.

“They think we just go on the field and shout at the boys and come out with results, finish.

“They don't know what goes into it. Every coach has his techniques or ways of doing things. The way you do things to succeed that's the way to pursue."
