Former Ghana international and Asante Kotoko legend, Abdul Razak says it is time for him to be handed the vacant Black Stars coach position.
The Ghana Football Association is currently in the market hunting for a new coach after Milovan Rajevac was sacked last week following Ghana's abysmal and shameful exit from the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
The four time African Champions failed to win any of their three games at the group stage finishing at the bottom of Group C with just a point after defeats to Morocco and Comoros and sharing the spoils with Gabon.
Razak says he is the ideal coach to lead the team although he has been ignored many times by the Football Assoication when he applies for the vacant job.
"This is the time for me. Always I put in my application whenever there's a vacancy but I have always been ignored”, he told local radio station, Happy FM.
He also revealed how his applications have been ignored in the past when he applied.
"I have seen your C.V and it's good compared to the other applicants. In coaching wise, playing-wise, I swear, you are ahead of all of them but coach, they won't give it to you". Razak revealed
"So I answered him and said I know but if I don't send it they'll one day tell me that I didn't apply yet they're all lies"
Abdul Razak won the AFCON with the Black Stars in 1978 and was named the African Best Player of the year later in that year. By the end of his career, he had amassed 70 caps for the Black Stars scoring mouthwatering 25 goal.
