Black Stars management committee chairman George Afriyie says reports that ex-France captain Marcel Desailly would take up a position as a scout for the Black Stars during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations are false.
According to a publication by the state-owned Graphic Sports on Tuesday, Desailly was going to be part of Avram Grant’s technical team.
The story was attributed to former Ghana FA chairman Alhaji MND Jawula who was a function where Desailly was honoured on Friday night in Accra.
But Afriyie said Jawula was only making a suggestion to the Ghana FA to consider but nothing concrete has been decided.
He explained: “I don’t know where this story is coming from. This was just a suggestion from Lepowura MND Jawula at the unveiling of Marcel Desailly’s statue. Why can’t people report accurately.â€
Afriyie also confirmed that Desailly turned down the Black Stars coaching job after Kwesi Appiah was sacked in September.
