He didn’t go into details about what is causing his discontent apart from corruption but also mentioned the bad treatment they were subjected to after the 2007 U17 World Cup.
“I’m no longer playing active football, so I can say it,” Osei emphasized during an interview with Kings Jersey TV.
“If my son becomes a footballer, I will never allow him to play for any Ghanaian national team. I’m being real. Something happened during my playing days that led to me not receiving any Black Stars call-up.
“Someone did something that incurred my hatred in the presence of influential figures in football.”
