President Nana Akufo has urged the Ghana Football Association to do what it takes to maintain the Technical handlers of the Senior National team for at least the World Cup in Qatar.

The President made this known on Wednesday when players of the Black Stars and the Technical team called on him at the Jubilee House in Accra.

The Black stars quartet of Otto Addo as Coach of the Black Stars with support from Chris Hughton, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Did Dramani were appointed in February following the dismissal of Serbian trainer, Milovan Rajevac.

The quartet, headed by Otto Addo spearheaded Ghana’s qualification to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar courtesy an away goal rule following a 1-1 draw in Abuja on Tuesday night in front of millions of Nigerians.

“Though I couldn’t watch the game, sad to say I was putting up things together for the State of the Nation address today. But when you scored the first goal the noise in my office drew my attention”. President Akufo Addo said.

“I was elated with your performance both in Kumasi and Nigeria. In Kumasi we saw the Black Stars in you and after that performance in Kumasi I was very calm here and knew you will do it in Abuja.

“I am hoping the Technical team that has been put together for these two matches will at least take us through to the World Cup itself, I told the coach to be careful when he comes to Ghana we will kidnap him and make it difficult for him to leave to Germany and to Dortmund, and we want him here”.

“Kurt Okraku, please make sure that the team stays together at least until Qatar then afterwards we can take long term plan” President Akufo Addo added.

Ghana will know its group stage opponents on Friday after the final draw for the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held at the Doha Exhibition and convention Center (DECC).
