“Issues that we would like to see in the contract and this include but are not limited to benchmarking, remuneration, benefits due him in terms of leave and budget that will be made available for him to do his work and what we want to see of him.

"We talked about benchmarks such as the Africa cup of Nations and ensuring that we develop a team for the present and the future, how to scout and monitor new players, he seems to have a good database on Ghanaian players, he appears to be a good motivational personality, he is more of a motivator and somebody who can manage the egos and the expectation of our players.”
