Former Ghana U-17 star, Godwin Attram, has praised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for appointing experienced coaches to lead the national youth teams.
The silver medalist at the 1997 U-17 World Championship is currently serving as an assistant coach to Ibrahim Tanko for the Black Meteors in preparation for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.
Attram was pleased with the recent appointments of former Ghana internationals Laryea Kingston and Jacob Nettey, who will be assisting Abdul Karim Zito with coaching the Black Starlets, and former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda, who has been named as the goalkeeper's trainer for the Black Satellites under new head coach Samuel Boadu.
“The coaches that the Ghana Football Association is bringing on board now will help the nation," said Attram. "Because playing football for almost 20 years outside the country, you can’t tell me that if the person will get it wrong if wants to coach passionately. It will help the nation to develop the young kids and bring them up to the Black Stars."
He went on to applaud the GFA for having the foresight to bring in coaches who have a genuine passion for the game and a wealth of footballing experience.
"I will really applaud the FA again for having this kind of thought in their mind, bringing in coaches who have really been into football and have the passion to be a coach to support the country with the new and some of the senior coaches supporting, and I believe the future is going to be bright for Ghana," said Attram.
