Veteran coach, Ken Augustt has slammed the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over the appointment of an expatriate as technical director.
The GFA, this week, confirmed the German Fifa Instructor as a replacement for local man Francis Oti Akenteng whose contract was not renewed after a long service.
Ken Augustt does not see anything special about Bernhard Lippert to warrant a GFA technical director role.
“I am obviously disappointed because what is so different and special that the man can do?
“I have looked at the profile of the man and there is nothing extraordinary about his past work except that he is a white German.
“It is demoralizing to us as people and we always want to play second fiddle in our own country.
“I am not worried about the position but I am talking about the fact that you ditch your own people for foreigners.
“We are rather building the CV of the German.” he lamented on Akoma FM.
Bernhard Lippert spent 12 years as Technical Director of the Associations of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA).
He was also the Head Coach of Azerbaijan’s U-17, U-19 and U-21.
The 58-year-old was Head Coach of Eintracht Frankfurt between 1998-99 where he also served as Assistant coach, Youth Education Supervisor and Head Coach of Eintracht Frankfurt U-23 at different occasions.
