“Many people mention the under-20 but I was also part of the Senior National Team. At a point in time I was the head coach in 2010 and I was part of the technical team for the 2010 Black Stars World Cup success[ in South Africa]”, he said.

The coach further mentioned he still has a good relationship with a lot of the boys who won the under-20 World Cup for Ghana, especially Andre Ayew.

…as for him [Andre Ayew] he knows how I helped him so he doesn’t play, he doesn’t joke with me at all”, he added

With monies owed the technical handlers he said; “Technical team, when we won the World Cup, they didn’t pay us any money and there was a document for it. There was a company that was… they called me and discuss with me. I went to discuss that with Kurt Okraku that at least they were supposed to give us $4,000”

Ghana won the first FIFA U-20 World Cup under the management of Coach Sellas Tetteh.
