“Allow Head Coaches To Do Their Own Recruitment”

Head coach of Inter Allies Football Club, Prince Owusu has urged football administrators to desist from recruiting players before they employ substantive coaches.

Coach Prince Owusu said at a post match press briefing after his side held Kumasi Asante Kotoko to a scoreless draw at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium last Sunday.

He said some coaches are finding their work very difficult, because they do not have the chance to recruit their preferred players during transfer window.

“I want to urge all club owners and administrators’ to do the right thing for their clubs, the best thing they have to do is to hire a coach and allow the coach to recruit the players they want to work with.

“Zdravko Lugarusic wants to play a particular system with Kumasi Asante Kotoko and he doesn’t have the guys to play that system he believes in as a coach.

“Lugarusic is having some difficulties, which we could all see and people sit somewhere to say he is not competent, the coach did not do the recruitment and it is very obvious. Similar problem is happening to Frank Nuttal and Accra Hearts of Oak.

“Administrators make recruitment before they hire coaches, so coaches will have to work with the available materials, which always cause problems for them. This act is making our job as coaches very difficult for us in Ghana and they should refrain from that.” He noted.
