The majority of Ghanaian coaches are so matured to allow bribe influence their player selections, to be honest, we don’t reject a genuine gift, but I don’t believe my colleagues License ‘A’ coaches in Ghana would be influenced by money to fix players in a game.
‘I was attempted and approached with a huge amount of money as a bribe to accept a footballer in my team when I was at Berekum Chelsea by the club owner through a football agent but I rejected the offer, since then the C.E.O Mr Kyereme gained a lot of respect and trust in me.’

I left Bibiani GoldStars FC after the Ghana premier League promotion because my contract expired and I need a new challenge.
“I need total rest, total recovery, because of all the hard work I’ve done. During the Anas expose, I also worked through the Normalisation period and the COVID season. So I feel like I need to change the environment a bit.

In these five teams, Amissah only started the Premier League season once, and that was with Elmina Sharks where he was sacked halfway through the season.
There’s no conflict and bad blood between me and the club CEO AKwasi Aidoo, In fact we are still friends and we communicate always like all the other teams I coached before.
Ghanaian clubs need Talents scout coaches to enhance the managers work.
Elsewhere in Europe like, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, etc have employed talents haunt coaches to go round and identified good talented players for the teams and why can’t we do the same here to support effort of the head coach?
He has also denied the reports of practicing black magic or superstition ‘juju’ to qualify teams to the Ghana premier league.
He claimed, some coaches and players do it and it work for them based on their religious faith either you are a Christian, a Muslim and traditionalist, we all pray before every activities in our daily life but I don’t put my trust in juju’, it’s all about hard work and determination with a good plans and quality materials.
