GFA must have a structure for developing players - Karim Zito

Ghanaian coach Karim Zito has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to implement stricter measures to improve player development.

Zito, currently coaching Dreams FC, believes Ghana’s reliance on European-born players highlights the failure to establish a consistent development system.

He emphasized that without a proper succession plan, Ghana’s struggles on the international stage would continue.

Zito criticized the lack of continuity in player development, noting that young players should progress naturally through age groups rather than being discarded after each competition.

He advocates for a structured model similar to top European countries to ensure a steady pipeline of talent.

Zito also pointed out the media's role in focusing on instant results rather than supporting long-term growth.
