Former Kotoko player, Godwin Ablordey has encouraged the team to restart a fresh strategy that will help them spot talents that will win them championships.

Under former head coach, Dr. Prosper Narteh-Ogum, the club signed a host of fine talents that went on to win the league last season but in a quick turn of events the story has been different which has raised a host of eyebrows amongst the football populace.

Speaking to Akoma FM, in a recent media interview, the former player juxtaposed the players from his playing days and now by suggesting that the club needs a fresh recruitment policy that will see it poach talents abroad.

“They (Kotoko) have no special quality players like they used to have in the past such as Stephen Oduro, Jordan, and the rest.

“I won’t blame the current management for recruiting these average players because the league itself lacks quality. Most of the players playing in the other clubs are average ones unlike during our time when most of the players were in the senior national teams,”

“If Kotoko really wants to recruit quality, they need to scout outside the shores of Ghana and that is costly. The fans however must support the team financially by attending matches so management can recruit the kind of quality they (supporters) are craving for” he ended.

Kotoko are currently fifth on the log in the ongoing betPawa Premier League as they travel away to the Golden City park to face off with Berekum Chelsea.

Hearts head coach Nebojša Kapor has lamented the infrastructure problems in Ghanaian football.

Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.

Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.

Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.

“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.

The Serbian tactician’s remarks reflect growing frustration among coaches over the quality of playing surfaces across the league.

The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
