Avram Grant caught up in Ghana hoax

The Ghana Football Association has dismissed a report saying that have held talks with Avram Grant over becoming their technical consultant.

Describing as a ‘big hoax’ suggestions that they were in talks with the former Israel manager ahead of this summer’s World Cup, the report had also said Grant was to be handed a six-month contract to work with the Black Stars until after the 2014 World Cup.

However, Ibrahim Sannie Daara, the GFA’s Director of Communications, said: “Please quickly disregard this Avram Grant report. It is a big hoax.

“This new hoax is similar to what the same website reported on German Klaus Toppmoeller some weeks ago which as you all know now was false. This trend of putting wrong information out to the public before seeking the GFA’s version is getting out of hand.

“The GFA is not interested in Avram Grant, it has not contacted Avram Grant and will not contact Avram Grant for any position in Ghana football.”
