The Ghana Football Association is making moves to buy a house for Black Stars Coach Avram Grant.
The 60-year-old former Chelsea man has a penchant for spending most of his time in Europe at the expense of monitoring the Ghana League to develop budding talents that will benefit the nation now and the future.
Grant is just coming off a three month stay in the United Kingdom though he has since watched two games in the Greater Accra Region and another in the Eastern region that saw newcomers Dreams FC and an in-form Wa All Stars side play out an entertaining 1-1 draw game last week.
The Black Stars Coach will also be in Kumasi this evening to see fading Asante Kotoko play Hasaacas, travel to Obuasi to see AshGold play Aduana on Saturday before flying to the Eastern Region to see MTN FA Cup and Super Cup winners Medeama try to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Libyan side Al Ittihad on Sunday in the CAF Confederation Cup.
With the Israeli finally growing into the Ghanaian game vice President of the Ghana Football Association George Afriyie says it’s time for the GFA to make him comfortable by buying a house for him.
“If you own it, it’s much better than renting it because if you look at previous places where we put Black Stars coaches, you are looking at paying $4,000 or 5,000 a month,” Afriyie told Starr FM.
“Why don’t we use that money as a mortgage to pay down for a house for the Black Stars Coach? This would be a cost effective measure.”
Grant will lead Ghana for the first time this year when the Black Stars take on Mozambique on Thursday the 24th of March 2016 in a 2017 AFCON qualifier.
