Axed Kingson wants explanation from Stevanovic<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Richard Kingson wants a \u00a0personal explanation\u00a0for why he was dropped from Ghana\u2019s squad for the 2012 Africa Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Blackpool goalkeeper has been a prominent member of the Black Stars at every major football competition in the last five years but was axed because he has been clubless since the end of last season according to Ghana Coach Goran Stevanovic.<\/p>\n

Media reports had suggested Kingson who last played for Ghana in June this year had a row with the coach after he was dropped for the qualifier against Swaziland \u2013 reports that the 33-year-old has dismissed.<\/p>\n

He is however furious that Stevanovic did not speak to him before the decision was made.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs at now I don\u2019t know why I was not picked,\u201d he told Radio Gold.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u00a0coach has not called me to say he has taken me out for this or that reason and no one at the GFA has done that too.\u201dI have been the coach\u2019s first choice since he has been here so its only fair that he would have spoken to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Europe when you want to bench a regular player you give them reasons.\u201dKingson revealed he has not spoken to the Serbian since Ghana\u2019s friendly game against Brazil in early September.<\/p>\n
