Anthony Baffoe has reportedly declined a role on the committee searching for a new Black Stars head coach, raising questions about consent and appointment procedures.
Anthony Baffoe, a former Black Stars captain and founder of the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), has reportedly declined an appointment to the Sports Ministry’s search committee for a new Ghana national-team head coach, according to the report supplied to TotalSports1Plus.
The supplied report says the development has prompted criticism of Sports Minister Hon. Kofi Adams and Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku. It alleges that Baffoe’s inclusion was announced before his formal consent had been secured. That account has not been independently confirmed.
The central concern raised in the report is whether adequate communication took place before the appointment was announced. Baffoe’s experience in Ghanaian and international football was expected to contribute credibility and expertise to the search.
The report describes calls for clearer, more transparent and respectful appointment procedures within national sports administration. A direct statement from Baffoe, the Sports Ministry or the GFA would be needed to confirm the circumstances of the reported refusal.
