Ex-Ghana star Sammy Osei Kuffour wants Avram Grant sacked as national team coach after failing to reach the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final.
The former Bayern Munich defender, working as a pundit on South Africa-based Pay TV SuperSport, ripped into the former Chelsea manager as the chief cause for the team's inability to end their trophy drought in Gabon.
Ghana were beaten 2-0 by an inexperienced Cameroon side in Franceville on Thursday.
An incensed Kuffour was uncharitable to Grant and did not mince words in blaming him for the washed out campaign.
''I'm pissed. [Avram] Grant must go. He spends all his time outside the country and does not develop any local talent. Ghana football is in crises and I'm worried about the youth,'' Kuffour remonstrated after the final whistle.

Bring whichever coach and the result will be the same. The days when we had Michael Essien, Kevin Boateng, Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Olele, Antony Anan and co is over. That kind of team comes once in a longtime. Forget about coach, we lack the old good players we use to win with.
i support kuffour 100 percent,the coah must go, i hav a serious problem about his approach to substitution. how did u bring Asamoah Gyan 15 minute to the end of the game? was he a magician?let be Truth to ourself half fit Asamoah Gyan is better than those prayers out front who weisted a lot of chances. Dede was doing nothind while Ageman Badu was on bench throught.the f.a president n the coach should all leave.black star is for all of us, not for the f.a
How can you remove your productive n forceful players ...wen dede ayew is doing nothing in the game?...why didn he change dede in the first half? His bad changes and lack of vision brot us Gh 0 cam 2. Is the coach trying to say there is no natural lft full back in the team or in the locall league?i just don understand the reason he was keeping patey patey on bench wen dede ayew was doing nothing in the game making our team shorrt by one player ...we just not serious. Diz is wat happens when your team and coach cannot boldy say or promise there are bringing home the cup..sad
What are you guys talking about? Which national team coach develops local talents. A national coach selects players who have been developed by their clus. He does not limit himself to foreign based or local players. If our local players were so good, how come we could not even qualify for the CHAN? For dismissal of Avram Grant, we have to be careful and be sure of what we want. In my opinion, the team improved match after match, it was just defensive blunders that cost us. And the players are human beings and can make mistakes.
one point made clear. he does not scout for new players. what happens to the hidden talents. wasted under his administration
Please let's stop this blame games. The black Stars did their best and as usual in any game and tournament, there will always be one winner. That does not take away the sacrifices that was put in place to bring the team to this stage. The best is to go back to the drawing board, do a holistic analysis of where we felt short and move on as a country. Sacking of a coach and blaming people does not build national team. At least let's take a cue from Germany where Sammy Kufour spent most of his football carrier.
Ghana is a spent force relying on past glory
SAMMY KUFFOUR IS RIGHT A COACH WHO DOES NOT STAY GHANA A MONTH AND THEREFORE ALWAYS IN ABROAD, WHAT CAN HE OFFER. IT IS BECAUSE PART OF HIS PAY GOES TO SOME GFA MEMBERS.
