Ex-Ghana Under-20 coach Sellas Tetteh is backing Mas-Ud Dramani to lead the team to succeed.
The Black Satellites face Senegal over a two-legged tie in the race for the 2017 African Youth Championship in Zambia.

“I know he can take the team far. We all know what he did with Kotoko and I strongly believe he can take this Black Satellites team to places.”
