Former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantekyi has admitted that he has not been following Ghanaian football since leaving office.
Nyantakyi, who was president of the Ghana FA from 2005 to 2018 was responding to a question posed to him to advice the current administration.
"I don't know much about Ghana football. I have not being following it like how I did when I was there," he told Kings TV.
The astute lawyer went ahead to reveal why Ghana had a poor outing at the 2014 World Cup.
"The 2006 and 2010 World Cups were successful but the 2014 one was unsuccessful. There were so many problems," he stressed.
"The problem had to do with the monies that was supposed to be given to the players. The Bank of Ghana had credit the Ministry of Youth and Sports account, but for them to release it to the players, it became a problem. The point is, based on our previous experiences, the players were paid before leaving for the tournament.
Nyantakyi led Ghana to three FIFA World Cup and two Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, with Ghana finishing second at the 2010 AFCON and the 2015 edition, under his tutelage.
