Alhassan’s comments follow the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in two decades.

The team finished last in Group F, managing only three points from three draws and three losses.

Reflecting on the team’s underwhelming performance, Alhassan, a 1982 AFCON champion, criticized the assistant coaches for not playing their part effectively.

“They should have done better because I don’t see that they are helping the coach himself. I don’t see anything that shows that they are helping the coach,” he told Citi Sports.
“If you are a coach and you have a technical team, you work together with them. Or maybe they are afraid to suggest to the coach. Maybe everything is the coach’s responsibility, so they also sit and watch him, but if they worked together, I don’t think things like this would have happened,” he added.

The Black Stars’ technical team includes John Paintsil as the first assistant coach, Joseph Laumann as the second assistant coach, and Fatawu Dauda as the goalkeeper trainer.

Despite the disappointing campaign, reports suggest that Otto Addo will retain his position as head coach. However, significant changes to the backroom staff are expected.

The former AshantiGold shot-stopper was on the verge of joining the Porcupine Warriors during the January transfer window but the deal never materialized.

”Ofcourse I’m an experienced goalkeeper and my presence could’ve done a lot for the team even in terms of serving as a motivation for some of the players,” he told Angel TV.

”But, I think there was some displeasure from certain quarters of the supporters of the club. If you look at how important club fans are, you can’t underrate that.

”So it ended up that we had to shelve the plans in order not to spark any unrest within the supporters.”

Dauda, 36, was seeking to return to club action after ending his stay with Ghana Premier League rivals Legon Cities.

He has represented Okwahu United, AshantiGold, Orlando Pirates, Chippa United and Enyimba FC of Nigeria.

Dauda played two matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil.
