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...

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...
