Ghana will be coming up against the likes of Congo, Uganda, and Egypt in the qualification round for the World Cup 2018.
Coach Avram Grant claims that it will be extremely difficult for the Black Stars to qualify for the tournament. This negative claim is unlikely to sit down well with the Ghana FA, who have seen the team perform well under the regime of Grant. The team qualified for the 2017 African Cup of Nations quite comfortably after finishing top of their group. Included in a group containing the likes of Mauritius, Mozambique, and Rwanda, Ghana finished the campaign unbeaten from the five games.
Avram Grant’s spell as the head coach of the Ghanaian national football team might be reaching it’s end on February 5 of 2017 which is the date when the upcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finalizes.
Ghana manager Avram Grant says that he should receive a lot of credit for rebuilding the national team in a short span of time.
The former Chelsea manager took over as the national team boss of the African nation after the World Cup 2014, which had just ended as a major disaster. Grant has done reasonably well at his previous clubs like Chelsea, Portsmouth, and West Ham. However, the 61-year-old feels that he has never received proper credit for the work.
Ghana’s national team coach Avram Grant says that the national team is extremely lucky to have a player like Daniel Amartey. The young defender has recently shone during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
One of the primary reasons forAmartey impressing everyone is his versatile nature according to Grant. The recent African nations cup qualifier against Mauritius witnessedAmartey being utilised in a right back position instead of his preferred centre back position. However, many were left impressed with the wayAmartey adapted to this new way of playing.
Avram Grant has revealed that Ghana captainAsamoah Gyan is one of the greatest players he has worked with. The former Chelsea manager recently took over as the manager of Ghana after a dismal World Cup 2014.
His first task will be to get Ghana back to the glory days by doing well at the Africa Cup of Nations 2015. Ghana have certainly began their attempts to win this competition by beating Algeria in the second group match. Algeria were seen as one of favourites for the title after having been one of the strongest African teams in the last two years.
