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 Starlets head coach – Ben Fokuo
Black Princesses coach – Yusif Basigi 
Black Maidens head coach – Baba Nuhu Mallam
U-15 women’s head coach – Joyce Boatey-Agyei
U-15 men’s head coach – Samuel Boadu

CK Akonnor wins dismissal case against Kotoko, Ghanaian giants ordered to pay compensation

Asante Kotoko are expected to CK Akonnor a hefty compensation after the former coach won his case for wrongful dismissal against the club on Monday. The Player Status Committee has ruled the Porcupine Warriors breached the terms of his contract. The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling. Akonnor rejected an offer to head the club’s technical directorate and left his post under bitter circumstances. The gaffer had been in charge for a close to a year having had stints with Kotoko sworn rivals Hearts of Oak and regional rivals Ashantigold. He had also coached D...

Today In History: Kwame Nkrumah arrives in Guinea After the Coup

When news of the coup reached him, Nkrumah was in Peking (today’s Beijing) en route to the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, with plans to end the American war in Vietnam. Leaders of four African countries sent Nkrumah immediate messages of support and invitations. They were the presidents of Egypt (Gamal Abdel Nasser), Mali (Modibo Keita), Guinea (Sekou Toure), and Tanzania (Julius Nyerere). Nkrumah decided to accept Sekou Toure’s invitation. The government of Guinea shared Nkrumah’s Pan-African objectives, encompassing the liberation of the African people from all forms of social injustice and economic exploitation. There also existed a strong brotherly bond between Nkrumah and Sekou Toure. In addition, Guinea was closest to Ghana, to where Nkrumah was determined to return to carry on his work. Sekou Toure came to the rescue of Kwame Nkrumah, the deposed of Ghana and invited him to Guinea where he arrived on March 2, 1966, together with his bodyguards and a few civil servants w...
