There has been growing unease concerning the role of the Ghana Football Association’s Technical Director Bernhard Lippert.

The German FIFA Technical Instructor was appointed by the FA a year ago to head the Technical Directorate and steer it towards a new direction that guarantees growth and success for Ghana Football.

The recent developments have prompted the Ghana FA to clarify the exact role of Bernhard Lippert.
