Maxwell Konadu, the former Ghana assistant coach, has officially announced his interest in the vacant Black Stars coaching position, as reported by JoySports.
Konadu, who is currently managing Nsoatreman FC, brings with him more than a decade of experience, having previously served as assistant and interim coach for the four-time African champions from 2012 to 2022.
Expressing his confidence in his ability to make the transition to head coach, Maxwell Konadu has conveyed his desire to take on the responsibility.
The vacancy became available after the dismissal of Chris Hughton, following Ghana’s disappointing performance at AFCON 2023 in Cote d’Ivoire, where they were eliminated at the group stage.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has set a deadline of Friday, February 2, 2024, at 11:59 PM, for interested candidates to submit their CVs.
While it remains uncertain when the shortlisting process will take place, sources from JoySports have indicated that Maxwell Konadu and Michael Osei are among the indigenous coaches who have applied for the position.
An important criterion for consideration is the possession of a UEFA Pro coaching license.
Coaches without this qualification will be automatically disqualified, leading to questions about the eligibility of Konadu and Osei in the selection process.
