Nations FC coach Kasim Mingle says his team can survive without captain Razak Simpson if the defender leaves during transfer season. Simpson played well during Ghana Premier League matches and earned his first Black Stars call-up against Angola. The center-back became a regular starter for national team coach Otto Addo after strong performances. Transfer rumors connect the former WAFA player with moves away from Nations FC. Mingle stays calm about losing his defensive leader to bigger clubs.
The coach built his defensive system without depending heavily on Simpson throughout the season. Mingle rotates other players into the lineup when Simpson travels for international duty with Ghana. Radio Gold heard him explain how the team maintains chemistry between all defensive players. Nations FC never struggled when Simpson missed games for national team assignments. Other defenders stepped up and kept the team competitive during his absence.
Mingle expects Simpson will eventually sign with another club because of his rising profile. Several transfer deals already exist for the 26-year-old defender according to team sources. The coach prepares his squad for life after Simpson departs for new opportunities. Nations FC plans to strengthen their roster with new signings before next season starts. Simpson scored his first international goal during the Unity Cup tournament against Trinidad and Tobago.
