“There is stagnation in the level of football in Ghana,” the Kotoko coach is quoted as saying by Sportscrusader.com.

“We used to dominate in Africa and football, but it is not like it used to be.

“When I was here as a coach for the first time, the U-20 won the world cup, because the standard of football was very high. But it is not like that these days.  We are now struggling.

“I want to see the new generation rebuild the lost image.”
