Coaching instructor, Emmanuel Kwesi Mensah has explained issues surrounding John Paintsil’s coaching certificate after he was appointed as assistant coach for the Black Stars.
The former West Ham United player’s qualification has been questioned after he was given the nod to be part of the new Black Stars technical team.
Explaining the situation, Emmanuel Kwesi Mensah revealed Paintsil has undertaken the CAF Licensee B course pending his certification.
“John Painstil has undertaken the CAF License B Course pending his certificate. It is so because if you write the exams, we collate your marks and send them to CAF for final approval which will be based on the specific mark scored. CAF will then issue the license through an E-mail which will be printed out.
“Before one will enroll for a CAF License, he must have a CAF License C certificate or one which is equivalent that is UEFA License B and per my information, Painstil had UEFA License B which meant he could do the CAF License B course,” he said in an interview with Connect FM.

Emmanuel Kwesi Mensah further explained that coaches of national teams are not mandated to have a particular certificate.
“When a coach is appointed to lead a national team, it’s not mandated for him to have a certificate.
“FIFA don’t care about the certificate of a national team coach for an international tournament unlike club side where certificates are mandatory,” he added.
