Ghanaian journalist, Nana Adu, has called on the Ghana Football Association to appoint a full-time head coach for the Black Satellites.
His comments follow the Black Satellites’ disappointing exit from the ongoing 2025 CAF Africa U-20 Championship in Egypt.
Ghana fell behind 2-0 to the host country, Egypt, courtesy of Ofori McCarthy’s inexplicable errors in the first-half.
FC Barcelona’s Aziz Issah halved the deficit for Ghana just before halftime. Hakeem Suleman restored parity in the stoppage time of the second half to send the game to extra time.
The Black Satellites failed to score the winning goal, as Aaron Essel was sent off. Dacosta Antwi’s penalty miss proved crucial as the Egyptians progressed 5-4 on penalties.
Nana Adu’s analysis of the game on Max FM’s Sports Pack show on Tuesday painted a picture of how Desmond Ofei’s assistant coaching role with the senior men’s national team of Ghana, the Black Stars, affects his first role as head coach of the U-20 team.
The defeat to the Egyptians, arguably the weakest team in the competition, means Ghana will have to wait for another two years to book an automatic place at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
