The Ghana Football Association has moved quickly to quash media reports, suggesting Black Stars head coach Avram Grant has not been paid for the last three months.
Reports emerged yesterday that, headline sponsor of the senior national team, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) had not released money for the coach to be paid in the last three months.
But the Ghana FA in a statement last night described those reports as inaccurate.
"We wish to put it on record that the report is inaccurate as GNPC has been steadfastly resolute and committed to its contractual obligations to the Black Stars," part of the statement read
We also wish to state that The Ministry of Youth and Sports has not sought to influence the implementation of the sponsorship agreement between GNPC and GFA.
"The GFA wishes to assure Ghanaians that coach Avram Grant is in full charge of the Black Stars and has not expressed any desire of leaving his post.
"GNPC is a highly valued partner of the Black Stars and has not reneged on its contractual obligations to the team since it assumed the role of the headline sponsor of the Senior National Team.
"The GFA will continue to count on the support of GNPC in future for the Black Stars and other activities connected to sports in the country."
The former Chelsea manager receives $50,000 per month.
