Arch-critic J.E Sarpong makes U-turn, impressed with Avram Grant after seminar
Veteran Ghanaian coach J.E Sarpong has thrown his
weight behind Israeli coach Avram Grant after
taking part in a seminar organized by the Black
Stars boss.

Sarpong who has been hugely critical of the
appointment and some comments made by the former
Chelsea and former West Ham boss has rated him
high after attending a seminar organized by the
Ghana national team coach.

Grant who only went through half way a two year
contract with the Ghana Football Association last
week has received backing from the nation’s
best technical men for the job done in his first
year as boss of the national team.

Sarpong one of the few who had their reservations
regarding the appointment of Grant says it was
thoughtful of the manager to put up a seminar
marking his one year as boss of the Black Stars.

“I think he did a very good job by
organizing the seminar and I am impressed,”
Sarpong told Accra based CITI-FM

“I have never said I would not attend his
seminar what I said was that I would not attend a
coaching course organized by him.”

“As for his one year as Black Stars coach to
be fair to him he has done a very good job but
let’s still hope that the second year is
better.”

Sarpong is one of the few coaches in Ghana who
have earned a huge reputation for unearthing and
development of budding talents as the
nation’s current skipper Asamoah Gyan was
unearthed by him during his high school days.
