Italian coach, Fabio Lopez, has revealed that he fancies replacing under-fire Avram Grant as coach of Ghana.
The
43-year-old, who is of Spanish descent and currently in charge of Omani
club, Al-Orouba, has nominated himself to take charge of the Black
Stars should Ghana part ways with Grant.
The Israeli is coming
under increasing pressure after Ghana’s recent poor results, including
the collection of just one point from their first two Group E matches in
the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Grant is determined to, at least,
stay on through the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, but the Ghana FA may
well choose to change leadership sooner rather than later.
And
Lopez is hoping to capitalise on the situation as he touts his
credentials in an interview with Accra-based radio station Happy FM.
“I
am an Italian coach, I have coached six clubs, I have managed one
national team, I think I am young and will be happy to get the national
team job of Ghana. I have watched the Ghana team for some time.
“As
a professional coach, I don’t want to judge my compatriot, but I think
we can improve the technical part [of the team]. The national team of
Ghana is a good team but I think they can improve. I know two of the
players play in Italy. One play in Torino and also Udinese,” Lopez
touted.
Lopez has also worked in Italy, Lithuania, Malaysia, the Maldives and with the Bangladesh national tea
