Kiss-and-Tell: Ziese to let it all out!

.... Panic at GFA...
Buckhard Ziese, former national coach of the senior soccer team, the Black Stars, will hold a press conference at the Ajoa Wangara hotel his lodging place today at 10 A.M.

Information gathered by the GNA Sports Desk indicated that the conference will centre on his entrenched position on his dismissal by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) among other related matters. When the GNA caught up with the German, he was tight lipped about the subject matter he would talk on but stressed that the ceremony will be full of eye opener for the press to know in details his contract with the FA, their relationship in the past few months and other shocking revelations.

The former coach said the meeting has been necessitated by Ben Koufie's inability to cease fire through the media though they both agreed during a recent meeting between them last week that no further comments should be made about each other through the media. Coach Ziese hinted that he would also brief the media in details about the content of his one-year contract which had been hidden from the public since his arrival and what he considered as breach on the part of the FA.

The programme is likely to see the coach revealing to the public why he had described the FA as corrupt and inefficient as well as dare them on the correct interpretation of his contract. Meanwhile information reaching the GNA Sports said the German's communications facilities including fax, Internet and telephone at his apartment, have been frozen by the FA since last week.
