The coaching staff includes distinguished figures such as FIFA U17 World Cup winner Ben Owu as the goalkeeper trainer, and Hearts of Oak legend Amankwah Mireku as Team Manager.

The support team is further strengthened by Eric Totime as the Physiotherapist, Henry Bart-Plange as the Masseur, and Collins Osei Bonsu and Attah Debango as Equipment Officers. Eli Vorgbe will contribute as the team’s Video Analyst.

Konadu’s appointment follows Ibrahim Tanko’s tenure, which was marked by disappointment due to the team’s failure to secure Olympic qualification and an early exit from the U-23 AFCON last year.

The GFA views Konadu’s return as a strategic decision aligned with their football philosophy of nurturing talent for both youth and senior national teams.

With Konadu’s extensive coaching experience, including his key role in Ghana’s 2011 All African Games gold medal victory and his previous stint leading the Black Meteors, the GFA is confident in his ability to propel the team to success.

Highlighting Konadu’s crucial role in talent development, the GFA emphasizes his position in bridging the gap between youth and senior national teams, ensuring a smooth transition of talent within Ghanaian football.
