Sam Johnson can't understand why Avram Grant can't transform players in the national team to help the Black Stars.

Former Ghana international Sam Johnson has rated former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah ahead of current coach Avram Grant.

Grant succeeded Appiah in November 2014, after the latter was relieved of his post after Ghana’s 3-2 win over Togo in Lome in 2015 AFCON qualifier.

A lot of football pundits have called for the dismissal of Grant following Ghana’s slump in form – going four games without a win, with the latest competitive one being a goalless draw game with Uganda in Tamale in a World Cup qualifier.

Johnson after carefully analyzing the performance of the two coaches, the former Anderlecht defender has stressed that Kwesi Appiah who qualified Ghana to her third World Cup is better than the former Chelsea boss.

“Avram Grant currently lacks ideas. A lot of coaches have coached Black Stars. Bukhard Ziese came to Ghana and transformed a lot of players.

“Avram Grant receive huge sums of money as monthly salary. Why can’t he transform some of the local players? Kwesi Appiah is far better than him comparing their performance,” Jonson told Hot FM.
