Ghana FA Ex.Co members deny 'coach doesn't listen' tag

Ghana FA Executive Committee Members Jordan Anagblah and George Afriyie have denied saying coach Goran Stevanovic ‘does not listen’.

The duo believed to be against the retention of the Serbian trainer following Ghana’s disappointing run at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations were reported to have made the statement to local radio stations.

But the Ghana FA vice President Anagblah and the Chairman of the national U-20 team (the Black Satelites), Afriyie vehemently dismissed making such comments regarding the coach at a feisty Press Conference on Wednesday.

“Who is saying Jordan said the coach doesn’t listen. Who said that?” Anagblah asked the packed conference. “Where is the person? The person should own up”.

Afriyie also added: “I don’t know if he (questionnaire) is quoting from a different source.

“I said it on Asempa (local radio station) that if you ask me I said the coach failed. I never said the coach doesn’t listen that is different from saying the coach doesn’t listen.”

The now famous phrase ‘the coach doesn’t listen’ is one of the main reasons many are agitating for the immediate dismissal of the Stevanovic who failed to deliver on his promise to win the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

A decision is however yet to be made on the future of the ex Partizan Belgrade manager who has one year left to run on his two-year 30,000 Euro a month deal.
