Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle believes coaching club football is more challenging than managing the Black Stars.
Mingle guided Nations FC to a seventh-place finish in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League and currently has his team leading the table with 22 points after 11 games.
Despite having 36 years of coaching experience, Mingle has yet to be offered the opportunity to manage any of Ghana’s national teams. However, the coach remains optimistic, confident that his work will eventually earn him the recognition he deserves.
“Football, in my opinion, is destiny, so I usually keep a low profile and dislike being hyped up because I think your work will speak for itself no matter how long it takes. Many of the players I’ve developed have made it to the national team and are now working as professionals abroad,” he said in an interview with Akoma FM.
Mingle expressed his belief that coaching the Black Stars is easier compared to managing a local team. “The Black Stars have already chosen players who are already at the top for you; all you have to do is arrange them, position them, and convince them of your philosophy to get the desired results. This makes coaching the Black Stars much easier than coaching the national team. At the local team, you will be given fringe players that you must develop and teach,” he explained.
He remains hopeful that when the opportunity to coach the Black Stars arises, he will embrace it wholeheartedly.
