Hayford to Ghana FA: It hurts I might send my football knowledge to the grave

Renowned Ghanaian coach Bashir Hayford has expressed concerns about his chances of landing Ghana's vacant technical director role in the wake of recent developments.

The position became void following the exit of long-serving Francis Oti Akenteng following the expiration of his contract in March.

In April, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced six candidates, including three Ghanaians, have been shortlisted for the top office but failed to reveal the exact identities. The football governing body also disclosed it had begun interviewing the candidates via video conferencing technology.

“I’m yet to hear from the GFA since applying for the technical directorate position but I’ve heard that they’ve been calling people to interview them on this same position I have applied for too,’’ Hayford told Wontumi FM.
