Ghana football legend, Mohammed Polo, believes Karim Zito is experienced enough to coach the senior national team, the Black Stars.

Zito, who is a former Asante Kotoko coach has led Dreams FC to the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup in the maiden campaign.

Dreams will clash with Zamalek SC in the return leg of the semifinals on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Speaking to Joy Sports, Polo, who is a 1978 AFCON winner said Zito's performances with Dreams FC in the CAF Confederation Cup are a testament to the competence of the trainer.

"Our football is suffering. As for coaching, everyone is a coach; anyone at all can be a coach, but not all coaches can advance a team," Polo said.

"Today, Karim Zito can hit his chest that he's been able to advance Dreams FC to the semi-final of the CAF Confederation Cup because others could not do that.

"Through that, his CV shows that he can be advanced to the highest level which is the Black Stars level so he can progress, but there are coaches who haven't done anything and they are given the job to do," he added.

The Ghana Football Association recently appointed Otto Addo as head coach of the Black Stars with the former player returning for a second stint.

His first two games ended with no wins as Ghana fell to Nigeria before drawing against Uganda during the March international break.
