List of coaches who weren’t reappointed by the GFA after national teams’ purge



With the Ghana Football Association (GFA) dissolving the technical teams of all the nation’s football sides, a number of big names were let go.
Head coaches of the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Meteors and Black Satellites were among those axed by the GFA in the clearout.
This week, however, the GFA started the new era with a few new names to head some of the teams, including the new Black Stars coach, C.K Akonnor.
However, perhaps surprisingly, a few of the former coaches were brought back, some to their old roles while others were shifted to other teams.
Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, Sam Boadu and Yusif Basigi were recalled to their former roles as Black Queens, Male U-15 and Black Princesses coaches.
Former Black Meteors coach, Ibrahim Tanko now heads the Black Stars ‘B’ side.
Some of the discarded coaches however are clearly not in the FA’s plans any longer as they were left without appointments.

Kwesi Appiah – Former Black Stars head coach

Kwesi Appiah’s time in charge of the Black Stars was certainly a colourful one. With his contract expiring last December, a lot of talk had been about whether it would be renewed. It wasn’t. Appiah had been in his second stint in charge of the Black Stars.
The first major tournament of this second spell ended in disappointment as the Black Stars went out on penalties in the Round of 16 to Tunisia. He is replaced by Akonnor.

Maxwell Konadu – Former Local Black Stars coach

Maxwell Konadu was appointed head coach of the Black Stars ‘B’ side after leaving his previous post as Assistant coach of the Black Stars.
Maxwell Konadu might already have his hands full as Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach after his side lost their second game in a row in the Ghana Premier League.
The others are …
Yaw Preko – Black Satellites coach
Evans Adotey – Black Maidens coach

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...

Asante Kotoko NCC clap back at WAFA over hooliganism lecture, calls union "Armchair Supporters".

National Circles Council (NCC) of Asante Kotoko have frowned on the statement released by WAFA Supporters Union that their outfit is not supporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in its efforts to end hooliganism. On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe. According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution. The Kumasi-based side were slapped with a five home-game ban which got reduced to three due to crowd misconduct during their 1-0 defeat against Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on matchday 3. A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, the supporters wing of the Red lad...
