Renowned sports journalist Saddick Adams says that Ghana’s senior men's national team's problem is not due to coaching.

He believes the situation goes beyond just the technical team, but poor management of the team overall has also contributed to the Black Stars' drop in form.

The 2018 GJA Sports Journalist of the Year added that a lack of strategic planning has negatively affected the team’s performance.&nbsp;

“The problem is that what’s the definition of a top-class coach? He quizzed, adding: “I would think that Chris Hughton, in this context, is a top coach. Any coach who has coached in the Premier League is a top-class coach.&nbsp;

“We have gone for mediocre; we have gone for top-class coaches. None of them is working, so you cannot attribute it to coaching,” he told Ghanaweb.&nbsp;

Ghana’s talented group of players, he noted, is not being managed effectively.&nbsp;

“It is purely managerial and a lack of talent pool that we have to build into the team. We have the talent but lack the organisation and planning to utilise them because the coaches will only add the managerial aspect of it.&nbsp;

“Managing the players’ egos, managing their lifestyle, managing what they do, and tactics count,” he added.&nbsp;
