It has emerged that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) sought legendary German footballer Lothar Matth\u00e4us to manage the Black Stars in 2005 or 2006. <\/p>\n

Despite negotiations, Matth\u00e4us ultimately was unsuccessful in getting the post. In an interview with 3Sports, Matth\u00e4us stated, \u2018Ghana approached me for the coaching role in 2005 or 2006.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Even though we were in touch, something prevented the chats from ending as expected. I might have been on their lengthy list of potential applicants. <\/p>\n

Matth\u00e4us has kept ties to Ghana strong despite being passed up for the coaching job. He rose to fame on Tuesday when he was introduced as the new co-owner of Accra Lions of the Ghana Premier League.<\/p>\n

Together, the group\u2014which also includes agent Oliver Konig and Ghanaian footballer Frank Acheampong\u2014brings to the Accra Lions a wealth of expertise, know-how, and international fame, ensuring an exciting new era for the team. <\/p>\n

Lothar Matheus acknowledged his happiness and encouraged the players to exert themselves more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to spend all my time in football. I want to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to help with my experience. We know the football a bit longer than you so you can always come to me or anyone else in the team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re very professional. You\u2019re all very talented from what I saw in training. The facilities were very good and I want to make sure we improve it even more.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u201cBeating Aduana Stars after a rough patch in form is the kind of mentality I like. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the dignitaries present at the event which was held in Accra was the\u00a0president of the Ghana Football Association\u00a0Kurt Okraku who commended the club and wished them good luck.<\/p>\n
