Nyantakyi must be celebrated - Togo Coach

Coach of the Togo national team Tchakala Tchanile has heaped massive praise on GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi for transforming the West African powerhouse.

Tchanile has revealed his admiration for the widely respected football administrator, labeling him as ‘one of the best FA president on the continent’.

Despite the vote of confidence reposed in him, the Wa All Stars owner has received lots of backlash from a section of the media in his native country over his administrative style.

Critics are using the delay in the start of the Ghana Premier League as their trump card to force him out of the seat though he seems to enjoy massive support from the larger pool.

The Togolese national team coach says Nyantakyi must be celebrated for his vision for Ghana football.

“I think Ghana has one of the best federation presidents in Africa. He understands the African game and has a strong heart,” he is quoted by sportscrusader.com

“Togo is just here. We hear a lot of things going on in Ghana football and I think he is a strong man. I like him because he likes everybody. He is good.

“Every world cup and nations cup, Ghana qualifies and that is not easy. Some African countries need him to win the World Cup. I am not saying Togo, but he is one of the best.”

Nyantakyi will contest the FA presidency for the third consecutive time in next year’s congress.
