1978 African Footballer of the year, Abdul Razak popularly known as Golden Boy, is saddened by the neglect of former players who have top coaching certificates when appointing national team coaches. According to the former Asante Kotoko coach, he has been abandoned by the past Ghana Football Association hierarchy and the current administration when it comes to national team appointments. He believes that no other national team coach has a better track record than him. Abdul Razak has won trophies with Asante Kotoko, Dragons de l'Ouémé, and Stade Malien of Mali. He was also a key player in the Black Stars' 1978 Africa Cup of Nations winning team.
