Former Minister for Youth and Sports, Akua Sena Dansua, has expressed worry over the Ghana Football Association's failed attempt to keep Nora Hauptle as Black Queens head coach.
The Ghana Football Association and the Swiss trainer announced in a joint statement the latter had left her role following the expiration of her contract.
Prior to the official announcement by both parties, the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) had confirmed the appointment of Hauptle as head coach of the Copper Queens on a three-year deal.
Speaking to Citi Sports, Dansua described her departure as a 'shame.'
"Yeah, it’s a shame. It may boil down to interference in her work. There may also be a lack of resources," she said.
"When you compare female football to male football, you see that almost 90% of resources go to the men’s teams, especially the national team.
"Maybe she wasn’t happy doing her work. She wasn’t enjoying sufficient media and political support in Ghana. That’s why she decided to go that way."
The GFA are yet to announce a replacement for the Swiss trainer with just six months to go until the commencement of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
