Ghana national football team manager

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ghana national football team manager was officially established in 1958 by Ohene Djan, whom the Ohene Djan Sports stadium was named after. This happened after he was elected General Secretary of the Football Association by the clubs and the Ghana Amateur Football Association was officially founded.[1]

Ohene Djan succeeded in securing the services of English Coach, George Ainsley who officially became Ghana's first national team coach.[2] Since 1957 till date Ghana has had 33 different head coaches and three caretakers. C. K. Gyamfi is the most successful of these, leading the Black Stars to three Africa Cup of Nations titles – in 1963, 1965 and 1982 – making Gyamfi the joint most successful coach in the competition's history.[3]

Fred Osam Duodu led the Black Stars to their 1978 Africa Cup of Nations title;[4] Ratomir Dujković, Milovan Rajevac, and James Kwesi Appiah, have all led the Black Stars to World Cup qualification.[5][6]
