Maxwell Konadu bemoans the "sad situation" of the current generation's lack of tolerance for coaches.


Maxwell Konadu, a former Ghanaian assistant coach, has expressed concern about the current era's lack of tolerance for football coaches, especially among Ghanaian fans.

Despite the challenges of contemporary coaching, his comments follow growing pressure on national team managers.

According to Konadu, a former head coach of Asante Kotoko, the football culture has become more results-driven. Coaches are praised for victories but swiftly chastised for poor ones.

He claims that this tendency is not only demoralizing but also harmful to long-term team building.

Konadu told Akoma FM, "Ghanaians love football. When it goes well, they give you a lot of credit. When it goes wrong, the country gets split, which is how the game has tragically become."

In particular, he urged more tolerance for Otto Addo, the head coach of the Black Stars, who came under heavy fire for failing to lead Ghana to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

There were several requests for Addo's removal at the time because he had failed to win any qualifiers.

However, with consecutive wins over Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the former Dortmund scout has recently regained some confidence.

With 15 points, Ghana now leads its group, rekindling hopes for a comeback to the international scene.
