Hearts of Oak have appointed former Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Kingson as the club’s new goalkeepers’ coach as the Phobians continue their rebuilding process ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The appointment comes as Hearts seek to revive their fortunes following two successive trophyless campaigns, with the club already naming Serbian tactician Nebojsa Kapor as head coach.
The Phobians announced the return of the Ghana legend on Monday, describing his appointment as a homecoming.
“A legend returns. From guarding the post to grooming the next generation. Welcome home, Richard Kingson, our new Goalkeepers’ Coach.”
Some journeys always lead back home. Today, we proudly welcome one of Ghana’s finest goalkeepers, Richard Kingson, as our new Goalkeepers’ Coach.
Although Kingson featured for Hearts of Oak’s fiercest rivals during his playing career, he has maintained a strong relationship with the Phobians and was delighted to accept the coaching role.
The 47-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the technical team after an illustrious playing career that saw him earn more than 90 caps for Ghana and represent the Black Stars at the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups.
