Stephen Keshi believes the big-name Ghana players are not difficult to manage as he touts his credentials for the vacant coaching job.
The 52-year-old declared his interest in landing the vacant Black Stars job â⬓ one he considers as a ââ¬Ëdreamââ¬â¢ a few weeks after leaving his post with the Super Easgles.
The Black Stars job is however considered a very difficult task with a lot of big name coaches and egos to manage.
Immediate past coach of the side Kwesi Appiah was accused widely for his failure to properly man-manage the star-studded names in the team â⬓ paramount of them being Kevin-Prince Boateng.
But Keshi, who laid down the marker to lead Nigeria to a successful campaign at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations â⬓ where he was bold enough to drop some big name players â⬓ believes he is better equipped to take on the difficult Ghana job.
The former Mali coach adds
ââ¬ÅThe players are not difficult to manage,â⬠he told Happy FM.
ââ¬ÅThey are just like women. You only need to sit them down and tell them what you expect from them and everything will be well.
ââ¬ÅThe problem is only when officials are not keeping to their promises and the players decide to voice out their frustrations â⬓ then we think they are stubborn.
ââ¬ÅThey are not stubborn, they just want to voice out their opinions.
ââ¬ÅI am tough, I am a disciplinarian but we understand ourselves. They know the line not to cross.
ââ¬ÅWe have to spell everything out. If you like it, you join us, if you donââ¬â¢t, you donââ¬â¢t join us.
ââ¬ÅThe Black Stars is not a small team but there are always limits with me.
ââ¬ÅBut it is not all the time that you have to be tough on your players.ââ¬
