Former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu has been appointed as the new head coach of Bibiani GoldStars on a two-year contract.
The reigning Ghana Premier League champions have been without a substantive head coach since parting ways with Frimpong Manso.
Manso’s dismissal followed GoldStars’ 2-0 home defeat to Algerian side JS Kabylie in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In his absence, assistant coach Nana Yaw Amankwah took charge of the return leg in Algeria, where the team suffered a heavy 5-0 loss, resulting in a 7-0 aggregate defeat and elimination from the competition.
Konadu’s two-year deal will see him at the helm until 2027, as he looks to guide GoldStars in defending their league crown.
He is expected to be on the touchline for their outstanding Premier League fixture against Asante Kotoko on Wednesday, October 8, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Renowned for his vast coaching experience, Konadu has previously managed Asante Kotoko, Legon Cities, the national U-23 side (Black Meteors), and South African club Black Leopards, among others.
