Seasoned Ghanaian Coach Karim Zito has come out to defend GFA president Kurt Okraku on the rumors of being involved in player selections. There have been a massive backlash on the GFA President about him interfering in player selections in the various national teams.
Because of such allegations leveled against Kurk, Zito has come out strongly to say GFA President is childlike in this player selections brouhaha. Zito said,
“I can swear to you that sometimes Kurt doesn’t even know the players we pick.
When I qualified for the AFCON, he called me to his office and asked how I saw my team. He never told me which players to select but only asked if I wanted to strengthen the squad.
Due to that encouragement, I considered adding three foreign-based players to the squad. However, one couldn’t play due to COVID. This is why I can confidently vouch that the FA president has no influence on player selection,” he told Graphic Sports.
