Head Coaches of ALL our National Teams, their assistants and backroom staff are NOT paid a dime for their job – Saddick Adams (Sports Journalist)

In the heat of the disappointment regarding the poor performance of the Black Meteors of Ghana (U-23) at the ongoing CAF U-23 Championship in Morroco, sports journalist Saddick Adams, popularly known as Sports Obama, has named one of the many things that are wrong with Ghana football. On his @Twitter wall he wrote “Let me further emphasize this point.

On top of the list of the grave wrongs in our football, is the fact that, with the exception of the Black Stars and now the Black Queens (which have expatriates in charge);
head Coaches of ALL our National Teams, their assistants and backroom staff are NOT paid a dime for their job.

They don’t receive any salary for being appointed, regardless of how long they have been in charge.

We only seem to notice their supposed incompetence when we all sit to watch our teams in international games but here is the root of that.

Can we all hazard a guess how they have managed to survive coaching a national team knowing they don’t get paid?

What does this practice expose them to? Your guess is as good as mine.

Meanwhile, each member of the GFA Executive Committee gets paid 4,000 cedis every month, for four years, for their “sacrifice”.

The government, that owns the National Teams, also sees nothing wrong with the fact that coaches who are to select players into the teams are not paid.

However, they’re expected to be fair, unbiased, humble and patriotic.

Make it make sense.
