Veteran Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong backs former Chelsea and France centre-back Marcel Desailly to become the new manager of Ghana.

Veteran Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong has backed former Chelsea and France centre-back Marcel Desailly to replace Avram Grant as the new manager of the Ghana national team.

Grant resigned as head coach of Ghana following the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, where the Black Stars finished fourth, and the African nation are yet to appoint a replacement for the Israeli.

Sarpong, however, is convinced that 48-year-old Desailly, who has not yet managed a professional club or national team, is "the right man" to take control of affairs.

"Marcel Desailly is the right man for the vacant coaching job and I see him as the person who can end our 35-year run without a major trophy when he is appointed," Sarpong told reporters.

"Foreign coaches can't win trophies for us and so I don't see the rationale behind their continuous appointments. Desailly is not a foreign coach to me because he was born here and only represented France. He has what it takes to lead the Black Stars as he remains the only option that can bring success to us when given the top coaching job."

Desailly represented the likes of Nantes, Marseille, Chelsea, AC Milan during an illustrious playing career, while he was capped 116 times by the French national team.
