the timing is certianly terrible!...am not too sure aba a legacy... Leroy was just average!... pls people shd stop the talk about M Desaily...not all good/ successful players make good coaches! he could be given any of amateur teams...under 17 , 21, 23etc as a training ground but not the black stars!if we wan results we shd be prepared spend some more on a good coach! period!

i don't know why ghannians are bashing claude.u say the gfa is doing something dubious and saying the success of manutd is its confidence in its coaching staff. i want to remind u here that it didn't start easy and at one point the fans demanded sir alex axed.!
claude leroy tried some questionable tactics 4 sure, but he was trying something new.pple say he fielded untested quality players, well that's because he always thinks of the future.mark u, this is the guy that brought in players like eto'o and song to the world, and i remember at that time many cameroonians wanted him axed.on his first stint with cameroon, he left without a trophy, but the team won the acon the next try-with his tactics and he was called back!

I think its high time LeRoy left, he achieved nothing with the Black Stars. During the ACN the Black Stars were a not really a the best team there. I mean the struggled to win even the simplest games. Ever since LeRoy took charge the team has gone from bad to worse and i think the decision by GFA is a good one seeing that crucial games are coming up were performance and results will be vital.

Despite ruling himself out of taking over from Le Roy, the former defender is still confident of coaching the Black Stars in future.

"My time will come," said Desailly, who helped France win the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000.

I find it hard to understand why any self-respecting coach will take on a coaching job in Africa. The various FA's are hopelessly run and are corrupt; they want instant success without any long-term plans. Just like their governments, which keep changing like the wind changes direction, these associations have no idea what planning for the future is, hence the state of African football.

Individual players might be world class, but the teams as a whole are crap. George Weah, Abedi Pele, Roger Miller of bye-gone day were world class; the Eto'os, Drogbas, Essiens, Toures, Mahmadu Diarras of this era ARE all world class. But all play in crappy teams because their national associations keep changing coaches and each coach has a different approach to how football should be played.

No continuity of purpose.. just boastful words from little minds with big egos and quick hands (corrupt!).

Personally, I believe LeRoy should have given Ghana the flip a long time ago.

LeRoy, legacy? He killed Ghana football. I was looking to see a great Ghananian team at the nations cup but I saw a mediocre performance just like the one put up by their Nigerian brothers. The frenchman left bitter taste in the mouths of those who expected Ghana to lift the cup. I was not surprised when the GFA announced they were going to give him a new contract. Again they were behaving like their cousins the Nigerians. May be now that the Nigerians have purged their house of foreign coaches, especially the one called Berti Goat - (sorry vogts) or whatever, the Ghananian would learn to look inward for a speedy recovery of the black stars.

it is a shame to the ghanaian FA after deciving as that the coach will have his contract being extended and later to tell us that the contract has been aborigated.people at the FA should becareful how they treat coaching after a poor performance over just a single match.

I think the legacy of Le Roy is that the name of the Ghana football team is still the Black Stars and that is it.
Concerning his leaving, I think he has no choice since he said during the Cup of Nations that in the game of football you either become a hero or zero. Hence he is zero, meaning he should be a desciple of his word and go.

y is every1 here hating on leroy? my personal opion is, he did a great job. i dnt think any other coach/manager could have taken us any further in the acn than he did. what we should be doing here is thinking of a replacement that can continue the good work he did.
