His comment comes after the technical teams for the national teams were dissolved by the Executive Council of the country’s football governing body.
According to him, the Football Association needed a new direction to achieve their ambitions by seeing the Black Stars doing better in competitive matches and seeing the U-17 and U-20 teams win the FIFA World Cup.
“We know we have an assignment for the various national teams coming up but we [Executive Council] took the decision by dissolving the technical teams because we needed a new direction,” he told Joy FM.
“The Black Stars will play 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in March. The Black Queens, the U-17 and U-20 also have an assignment but my desire is to see the Black Stars breaking the record by playing in the semifinals of the World Cup.
“I want to see the U-17 and U-20 winning the FIFA World Cup and you can’t do that without taking bold decisions,” he added.
The Black Stars became the first African country to play in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
However, in 2009, Sellas Tetteh led the Black Satellites to win the U-20 FIFA World Cup in Egypt.
