‘Football should be run by footballers, it’s not about grammar’ – Stephen Appiah

 

Former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah says he hopes to one day see an ex-footballer leading the administration of the sport in the country.

He noted that many of his former colleagues have been sidelined and are not being allowed to bring their knowledge to the fore.

Speaking in an interview with Sompa TV, the 42-year-old said football administration is not all about grammar while advocating for ex-footballers to run the sport.

“It is about insights, that is why when I went to Italy, without speaking Italian I could understand the coach who was speaking Italian.

“I hope that one day, not me Stephen Appiah necessarily, but I hope one day; one of us will get to lead and we will all support.”

Appiah called time on his football career in 2012, and was honoured with a testimonial game at the Accra Sports Stadium in 2015.
