Former Black Stars midfielder\u00a0Derek Boateng\u00a0has praised Nyantakyi\u2019s tenure as President of the\u00a0Ghana Football Association\u00a0(GFA), citing the significant progress made by national teams and clubs under his leadership.<\/p>\n
He expressed regret that Nyantakyi\u2019s term was prematurely ended due to the Number 12 expose by undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which damaged his reputation.<\/p>\n
Despite the scandal, Boateng believes that Ghana Football would have thrived under Nyantakyi\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Kingdom FM, Boateng stated, \u201cI wish Nyantakyi could oversee Ghana Football again. His track record speaks for itself, and it\u2019s unfortunate how things turned out. I cannot say whether the accusations against him were true, as I wasn\u2019t present. However, I know he made significant contributions to the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regarding Kurt Okraku\u2019s current administration of the GFA, Boateng expressed concerns about the state of Ghanaian sports and emphasized the need for a collective effort to revitalize them.<\/p>\n
He criticized the administration\u2019s handling of criticism, saying, \u201cI have reservations about Kurt Okraku\u2019s leadership because they seem to take criticism personally. Constructive feedback is essential for the improvement of our sports, and it should be welcomed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn one meeting, he mentioned employing many former footballers in national teams, but for me, competence should be the priority, not just being a former player. Our game is not in good shape, and there\u2019s a lot to do. We need to start from the grassroots because the foundation is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n
