Ghana FA President Kwesi Nyantekyie says he is keen to resolve the Black Stars coaching situation so the team can move forward with the World Cup qualifiers in June.Nyantekyie chaired an inconclusive meeting of the executive committee of the Ghana Football Association on the future of current coach Goran Stevanovic after the side's failure to win the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and says he wants to deal with the matter quickly.He said: "We hope to finish this by early march so we can have three clear months before qualifiers. We play Lesotho and Zambia in June so we have to be careful. We quickly have to put this matter behind us because what has happened has happened. We have to confront what is ahead of us."The GFA has decided to defer the decision till after Ghana's international friendly against Chile in the United States of America next week. And during that period, Nyantekyie says they will consult with major stakeholders including "the public, media, the Ministry of Sports and sponsors.""We are all frustrated by what happened including me. We were not well vexed with the legality of the contract. We also needed to get the opinion of some of our stakeholders," he added.A key part of that consultation process will be the legal committee of the GFA who have been tasked to study the terms of the contract and advice the GFA on issues regarding options for a termination."We have asked the legal committee to look at it and advise us. We may retain the coach or ask him to leave. Those are the only actions left to us," Nyantekyie said.The press conference in Accra was one of the stormiest in recent years in Ghana football with journalists vehement in expressing their disappointment at the performance of the team in Gabon/Equatorial Guinea.Nyantekyie says he understands the feelings. "It's anger, hostility and unfriendliness and it is a natural reaction to the frustration people went through from the poor performance of the team in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. I don't begrudge anybody. It is probably a reflection of the generality of the feeling in Ghana."
