The Ghana Football Association (GFA) says it is not at loggerheads with Black Stars coach Avram Grant insisting it approved the Israeli manager's trip to his homeland over the weekend.
Local media reported yesterday that there was tension at the GFA secretariat last week, with the national team coach leaving Accra for Europe in fury.
According to the reports, Grant was directed by the GFA to spend some time in the country after the Mauritius game, but coach declined the order and travelled to be with his family.
The report added that, the former Chelsea boss had complained about unpaid bonuses and allowances for several weeks and decided to take a legitimate 20 day-leave as stipulated in his contract.
But the GFA says it approved the journey of Avram Grant to visit his family and there is no rift between the coach and the federation.
"We approved the request from the coach to visit his family and there are no problems between the GFA and coach Avram Grant. We have a good relationship with the coach who is very professional," Ibrahim Sannie Daara, the GFA spokesman told Muntea FM.
"He didn't leave the country in fury. He left with our blessing."
Black Stars management committee chairman George Afriyie corroborated the report insisting the coach has never complained about money issues since taking over the post last year.
"Coach Avram Grant has never complained about money ever since he assumed the position of the Black Stars coach," Afriyie said.
According to the reports, Grant's two other assistants, are also owed bonuses and allowances have vowed to stay and reclaim their monies before leaving the country.
The three are housed at the Alisa Hotel in Accra at the cost of the Ghana Football Association and not government.
The Israeli trainer has been criticised by the local media for not spending enough time in Ghana to monitor the local leagues to unearth talents for the national teams.
