By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Jun 16, 2026

Ghana Premier League side Nations FC have officially announced the departure of head coach Stephen Frimpong Manso and assistant coach Aboagye Dacosta.

The club confirmed the decision in a statement released on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to both coaches for their commitment and invaluable contribution during their time at the helm.

“The Club expresses its appreciation to both coaches for their service and contribution to our historic FA Cup triumph. We extend our best wishes in their professional journey ahead,” the statement read.

The departures mark the end of a memorable chapter for Nations FC, with Frimpong Manso and Dacosta playing pivotal roles in guiding the club to its maiden FA Cup title — a landmark achievement in the club’s history.

Their success not only delivered the first major trophy in Nations FC’s history but also elevated the club’s profile within Ghanaian football, underlining its growing ambitions on the domestic stage.

While the club has not disclosed the reasons behind the coaching changes, it has assured supporters that plans for the future are already in motion.

“The Club’s new technical direction will be announced in due course,” the statement added.

The announcement is expected to fuel speculation over who will take charge of the team ahead of the new season, as Nations FC prepare for the challenges of defending their FA Cup crown and competing for honours in the Ghana Premier League.

Supporters will now await further updates from the club regarding its next managerial appointment and the vision for the next phase of its development.
