Nations FC have named veteran coach Frimpong Manso as their new head coach, less than a day after the club mutually parted ways with Kassim Ocansey Mingle and his assistant Johnson Smith.
The vastly experienced tactician returns to the Ghana Premier League scene following his recent departure from Bibiani GoldStars, who relieved him of his duties after their early exit from the CAF Champions League at the hands of JS Kabylie.
Manso’s appointment is being viewed as a bold step by Nations FC’s management to breathe new life into a side that has struggled to find consistency this season. The club has collected only two victories in seven matches, leaving them in urgent need of fresh ideas and renewed belief.

The former Ghana international defender, celebrated for guiding GoldStars to their maiden Premier League crown last season, comes with a glowing reputation for his tactical acumen, calm leadership, and ability to nurture young talent. His arrival signals Nations FC’s determination to restore their competitive edge and rekindle hopes of a title push.
The 2025/26 campaign has not unfolded as planned for the Kumasi-based outfit, and the club’s hierarchy wasted no time in seeking an experienced hand to arrest their slump. Manso is expected to assume duties immediately and could be on the touchline when Nations FC return to league action this weekend.

Meanwhile, the club is set to unveil the rest of his technical team in the coming days as part of a broader restructuring aimed at steadying the ship and reigniting their season.
For Manso, this new chapter offers a chance to once again showcase his managerial prowess at the top level of Ghanaian football, an arena where his name already commands deep respect.
