Bibiani GoldStars have begun the search for a new head coach, and former Black Stars deputy trainer Maxwell Konadu has surfaced as one of the possible candidates.
The Ghana Premier League outfit is currently without a substantive manager after relieving Frimpong Manso of his duties in the aftermath of last weekend’s 2-0 home loss to Algeria’s JS Kabylie in the CAF Confederation Cup. His assistant, Nana Yaw Amankwah, has since stepped in to handle preparations.
Club spokesperson Samuel Kwagyire confirmed that Konadu’s name has indeed come up but stressed that the final decision will only be made after a thorough assessment of all potential coaches.
“Management is on it to make sure that at the end of the day, they make a firm decision as to who is to take over from Coach Frimpong Manso. The assistant coach [Nana Yaw Amankwah] should be the person to take over to make sure that the team work hard and trains very well ahead of the second leg at JS Kabylie,” Kwagyire told LUV FM.
He further explained that GoldStars’ leadership is taking a measured approach rather than rushing to appoint a permanent replacement.
“Once we have a vacant position for the coaching job, definitely most of the coaches would like to occupy this position, and that has to do with the management decision. But then management would like to go through a full list of coaches to make sure that at the end of the day, they make a good choice. The coach that fits into the future business plan of the team, Coach Maxwell, whose name has been mentioned, but then also has several coaches whose names are also on the table that management is going to finalise on one,” he added.
