Under-fire Ghana coach Avram Grant has withdrawn his bullshit comment after the Black Stars win over Mozambique in Accra last Thursday.

The former Chelsea manager said at the post match conference: “If this nation will concentrate on the football and not the bull***t, and just the football because there is a lot of passion, we can reach higher, high level. It is a long term target, but it’s achievable.”

His choice of word did not go down well with Ghanaians with outspoken and controversial football administrator Alhaji Abdul Karim Grusah calling for his head.

“First, I withdraw this word. Just the thing I will like to say is I love Ghana and I respect Ghanaians and I care about the Ghanaian team,” he told the Ghana FA Communication Division.

“What I wanted to say is we need everybody not to focus on the unnecessary thing, only to focus about the most important thing that our leaders that can make the change can focus on the important things that can take us forward and not about negative things."

It is unknown if the Ghana FA will accept his apology or push for further punishment.
