Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku has heaped praises on George Boateng for resigning from Aston Villa to concentrate on the Black Stars.
Black Stars assistant coach George Boateng announced this week that he's officially step down as Aston Villa trainer to concentrate on the Black Stars.
His statement reads: "I have learned so much and I’m grateful for the time spent at this beautiful, amazing club. I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their wonderful support and I wish the club every success in the future.”
“As for now, I will concentrate on my role as the Assistant Coach of Ghana ahead of the World Cup.”
Ghana will lock horns with Uruguay, South Korea and Portugal in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Amazed Kurt Okraku couldn't hide his excitement over George Boateng's commitment towards the Black Stars job.
"I think George is a committed son of Ghana and he's said this on numerous platforms," he told Adom TV.
"He has contributed his part to Ghana's qualification to the world cup and he is ready to serve.
"He has left Aston Villa to serve the country and I doff my hat to him, he is the kind of quality that we need and I'm looking forward to see him play a big role in the Ghanaian football ecosystem," he concluded.
