Former Ghanaian trainer, Malik Jabir, has revealed that he did not receive any payment for his services during his tenure with Ghana's Black Meteors (U23).

The veteran football coach shared his experience of facing various challenges and unfair treatment from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) during his coaching days.

Malik Jabir served as the head coach of Ghana's U23 team from 2003 to 2005 before taking up a coaching role with Asante Kotoko in 2005.

In an interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah, Jabir said: “I was never paid in the national team, never! Since you knew Malik in the national team, ask them who has paid Malik for even a month's salary”, he said.

“From Ben, CK, and co, I was the next and was with them from atomic energy when we moved to Winneba. We were there and Ben left for Zimbabwe, leaving me and CK.

“I was the acting CEO and they brought in Addy and Jones. I saw a sheet with the names of Addy and Jones while I did all the jobs”, he added.
