With his experience, he has been linked to the vacant GFA General position which is yet to be advertised.

But he has stated that he is not interested in the job and also the GFA can’t afford his services.

" I'm not interested in the Ghana Football Association General Secretary position for now. Ghana football is a thankless job and besides, they cannot afford to pay me if I should charge them for my services" he told Angel FM.
