Full list of new coaches for Ghana’s football teams



When the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that it had dissolved all the technical teams of the national teams, it paved the way for sweeping changes at the top of the hierarchy of these sides.
Over the last two days, the GFA has rolled out the new technical teams, including the head coaches culminating in the naming of Charles Kwablan Akonnor as new Black Stars boss on Wednesday.
The Black Satellites, Black Meteors and Black Starlets saw new names take charge while some of the other teams, including the Black Queens saw familiar people return.
Here’s a list of the national football teams and the coaches who will lead them:

Black Stars head coach – C.K Akonnor

Akonnor’s tenure with the Black Stars appeared to have ended prematurely when the decision was taken by the GFA to dissolve the technical teams.
The assistant to then-Black Stars boss, Kwesi Appiah, left along with all members of the team but returns, this time in the top job. He will be assisted by David Duncan. The team will be tasked to qualify the Stars to the 2021 AFCON (and maybe win it) as well as the 2022 World Cup.

Black Queens head coach – Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo

Mercy Tagoe returns to lead the women’s senior national team, having been one of those let go in the technical team clearout. It’s another chance for her to improve the lot of the failing Queens.
She led the side at the 2018 AFCON held in Ghana but the side failed to progress from the group after just one win from their three group games. They were also dumped out of the Olympics qualifiers by Kenya.

Black Stars ‘B’ head coach – Ibrahim Tanko

Ibrahim Tanko has seen his hard-earned reputation dip following his stint in charge of the Black Meteors. They missed out on a place at next year’s Olympics as they fell to the Ivory Coast and South Africa on penalties at last year’s AFCON tournament.
He has another chance to show the quality that once took him up to the position of Black Stars assistant coach
The others are…

Black Maidens head coach – Baba Nuhu Mallam
U-15 women’s head coach – Joyce Boatey-Agyei

Andre Ayew headed out of Swansea?

The future of Swansea City forward André Ayew is growing even more uncertain by the day, with interested clubs on standby after speculation concerning his possible availability. The Ghana International leads the charts for the Welsh side, with 11 goals in all competitions so far this season. With Swansea reportedly experiencing some financial instability following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018, Ayew is one of the names that have popped up on the exit list, due to his very high wages. The likes of Daniel James and Oli McBurnie have all left during that period, together with Jordan Ayew and Wilfried Bony among others have helped to significantly lower the wage bill. Tottenham Hotspurs and Championship leaders Leeds United have been identified as front runners for the Ghana international’s signature. Ayew rejoined Swansea from West Ham United in January 2018, then joined Turkish side Fernerbahce on loan for the 2018/2019 season, before returning to the We...
