Coach Ben Fokuo has expressed surprise and displeasure over what he describes as a rejection by the Ghana football association.
The former assistant coach of the Ghana female Under 20 national team, Black Princesses, was among 25 shortlisted coaches to meet the FA interview panel for the position of head coaches of the seven vacant national teams, but was not successful.
In an interview with Asempa sports, he said, looking at his qualification, experience, and the success he chucked with the Princesses at the last All Africa Games, he doesn’t know why he was excluded since the head coach he worked with, coach Kuuku Dadzie, was not only maintained but pushed to the senior female national team Black Queens.
"I still find it difficult to understand why I wasn’t appointed to coach any of the teams. Is it that the FA doesn’t see anything I have done in the country so far? Or if I may ask, what makes a coach competent?" he wondered.
The ex national and Great Olympics player was part of the technical team that won gold with the Black Princesses in 2004. He again won bronze with the Black Queens that same year at the women nations cup in South Africa and at the All Africa Games in Algeria in 2007 with the Princesses, all as an assistant coach.
Coach Fokuo has been the assistant coach of the Princesses until the new appointments and believes he has been unfairly treated but will not hesitate working with any team that approaches him.
