France 1998 World Cup winner Desailly rubbishes Ghana technical director reports

Former France international of Ghanaian descent Marcel Desailly has debunked media reports about ongoing talks with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over the football governing body's technical director role.

The position has become vacant following the term completion of long-serving technical director Francis Oti Akenteng in March.

In a tweet containing a French-worded post by a journalist claiming an ongoing discussion between the GFA and the 51-year-old over the job, Desailly called the report "Fake news".

In February, Desailly called on new GFA president Kurt Okraku at the body's secretariat in Accra.
