Richard Kingson is expected to lose his job as the Black Stars goalkeepers trainer, Graphic Sports has reported.
Chris Hughton, who is the new head coach of the team is expected to ring changes in the technical team of the senior national team.
According to the report, Hughton is looking to bring on board a new goalkeepers’ trainer and video analysts to boost his team’s preparation for matches.
A meeting between the 64-year-old and the Ghana Football Association [GFA] hierarchy has been held to finalise the proposals which could leave a lot of uncertainties over the future of Richard Kingson as the team’s goalkeepers’ trainer.
A new video analyst could take over from Awal Kamin who was among the team’s video department for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“Maybe, having been with the team for almost a year as technical advisor, I suspect Chris Hughton may have analysed the technical team and, therefore, knows its inadequacies which may have informed his recommendations to strengthen the technical department as he takes overt,” a GFA insider told Graphic Sports.
