Dr. Richard Duah Nsenkyire, owner of FC Samartex, has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to improve the Black Stars’ technical team following their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Black Stars endured a disappointing AFCON campaign, finishing last in Group F with just three points after six matches, which included three draws and three defeats. The performance has sparked widespread criticism of the technical team led by Otto Addo.

Speaking to Asempa FM, Dr. Nsenkyire emphasized the need for changes to the technical setup ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, set to resume in March 2025. He suggested that the GFA consider adding a technical director to support the existing staff.

“If the Black Stars technical team can improve, we have to do that,” Dr. Nsenkyire said. “We have used the same people throughout the AFCON qualifiers, and they have failed. I believe the technical team must be enhanced. If a technical director is needed to assist during the World Cup qualifiers, the GFA should make it happen.”

The Black Stars are scheduled to face Chad and Madagascar in their next qualifiers, with fans hoping for a turnaround in fortunes under an improved technical setup.
