In the heart of Ghanaian football, where the weight of expectations is often unbearable, veteran coach Karim Zito has stepped forward with a plea for patience. The former Black Satellites boss, now leading Dreams FC, believes the relentless scrutiny from the media is doing more harm than good to the national teams.

In an interview with Sportsblog247.com, Zito acknowledged the media’s role in holding coaches accountable but warned that excessive criticism creates a hostile environment that stifles progress.

“What is troubling the Black Stars? Why are we always searching for new players?” he questioned.

For Zito, the issue goes deeper than just tactics and selection—it’s about the failure of Ghana’s football development system. Without a steady production of top talent from the junior teams, the Black Stars will continue to struggle. He pointed fingers at poor developmental structures and a short-term mentality as key contributors to the team’s woes.

“The media also plays a role—they keep attacking coaches instead of supporting long-term growth. We focus too much on instant results, but you can’t achieve success without first laying strong foundations,” he emphasized.

Zito’s call is clear: If Ghanaian football is to thrive, there must be a shift from quick fixes to long-term development, and the media must become partners in progress rather than relentless critics.
