Adarkwa, who led Ampem Darkoa Ladies to victory in the Ghana Women’s Premier League and the Women’s FA Cup last season, replaces Baba Nuhu, who previously served as the assistant coach of the Black Princesses.

The decision to appoint Adarkwa was made by the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association as part of changes to the coaching staff of various national teams.

Adarkwa’s nomination for the Best Club Women’s Coach award at last year’s CAF Awards underscores his achievements, although the award ultimately went to Jerry Tshabalala of Mamelodi Sundowns.
