2022 WC: Four local coaches added to Black Stars backroom staff

The Ghana Football Association and the Ministry of Youth and Sports have settled on four coaches to travel with the Black Stars to the World Cup on a working attachment.

The trip will allow them to pick useful lessons from the biggest global showpiece and learn from the Black Stars Technical team.

The quartet includes Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum, a Premier League winner, formerly of Asante Kotoko who works as an Assistant Coach of the Black Galaxies, Samuel Boadu, Premier League and FA Cup winner with Hearts of Oak, Black Meteors Coach Ibrahim Tanko and Ignatius Osei Fosu, Assistant Coach of the Black Starlets.

The move forms part of strategies designed by the Ministry and the GFA to enhance the capacity of Ghanaian Coaches and to equip them with the modern trends of football.

Dr Ogum and Mr Boadu have been selected based on their success with Asante Kotoko (League winner) and Accra Hearts of Oak (MTN FA Cup winner) last season.

For Ibrahim Tanko and Ignatius Osei Fosu, they were selected due to their role as Technical Instructors for the Technical Directorate of the Ghana Football Association.

The four coaches will depart Accra next week with the rest of the backroom staff for the training camp in Abu Dhabi and later to Doha for the World Cup.
