Speaking to Ghanaian sports journalist, Stephen Adu, he stated that with proper monitoring of the youngsters, the Black Stars' future is bright.
"Usually, it is the U17 that there is a lot of focus on but we have not been able to qualify for any of the international tournaments since 2017, but with this team, in the next two years, we can be assured of that," he told YEN.com.gh.
"And not only that, now we can think forward by progressing them to the U20, U23 and eventually the Black Stars. We have to properly groom them and prepare them for the big task ahead.
"I have absolute confidence that if things are properly managed, the Black Stars' future will be great. Give them a little time."
