Former Black Stars assistant coach, Maxwell Konadu, is set to be named the new head coach of Bibiani GoldStars following the departure of Frimpong Manso.
Manso mutually parted ways with the Ghana Premier League champions after their 2-0 home defeat to Algerian giants JS Kabylie in the CAF Champions League preliminary round.
The loss left the Miners with an uphill task in their maiden continental campaign, prompting the club’s decision to make changes in the technical direction.
Maxwell Konadu, who has vast experience in the Ghanaian top flight, is expected to bring stability and renewed confidence to the Bibiani-based outfit.
The 52-year-old previously handled Asante Kotoko, Legon Cities, Nsoatreman FC and the Black Stars B, winning the WAFU Cup of Nations in 2017.
His proven track record in Ghanaian football makes him a strong candidate to steer the Miners as they seek to defend their league crown and compete on the continental stage.
Frimpong Manso leaves behind an impressive legacy, having guided GoldStars to their historic first-ever Ghana Premier League title last season and victory in the GHALCA Top 4 Cup.
His exit, however, opens a new chapter for the club as they turn to Maxwell Konadu’s experience and tactical nous.
GoldStars are expected to make the appointment official in the coming days, with Maxwell Konadu likely to lead the team in the second leg against Kabylie in Algeria, as well as the upcoming Ghana Premier League fixtures.
