Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle believes that managing club football presents greater challenges than leading the Black Stars.
Mingle, who guided Nations FC to a seventh-place finish in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League, currently has his team at the top of the table with 22 points from 11 games.
Despite his 36 years of coaching experience, Mingle has yet to be given the opportunity to manage any of Ghana’s national teams.
However, he remains optimistic and confident that his hard work will eventually bring 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.
