Ghana is in a coaching dilemma ahead of next month’s friendly against Nigeria.
The Local Black Stars are expected to engage their Nigerian counterpart in an exhibition exercise to officially open the ultra-modern Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo on November 7.
But the team will be without their substantive coach Maxwell Konadu who will be preparing his side ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Uganda.
With the Ghana FA yet to appoint Kwesi Appiah’s replacement, Maxwell Konadu’s attention will be divided as the match comes off just seven days before the Black Stars tackle the Cranes in a crucial qualifier in Kampala.
The situation means a replacement must be found to take charge of the team ahead of the high-profile friendly.
The match is timely for Ghana as players of the side are seeking matches to be active with the start league hanging in the balance.
With the Local Black Stars seeking action to keep players active, the match has come as a timely boost for the side as they prepare for future assignments.
Nigeria last met Ghana in a competitive game in the semifinals of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) hosted by South Africa in January and the Black Stars ran away with a 4-1 victory after penalty shoot out. That game ended goalless in duration time.
