Former Ghana Black Stars assistant coach, Maxwell Konadu has applied for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.

 

The football governing body requested for CV’s from interested candidates until Friday, February 2, 2024, at 11:59 PM for the vacant Black Stars coaching .

 

The former Kotoko boss was assistant coach at the senior national team between 2012 and 2022, and he believes that he is cut for the position following his worth of experience.

 

He has over 10 years experience as assistant and interim coach of the four times World Cup participants.

 

The Nsoatreman FC coach was appointed assistant to Kwasi Appiah in 2012 and partnered him for 2013 AFCON in South Africa and 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

 

He was also the stop-gap manager when Appiah was sacked in September 2014, and led the team to qualify for the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea before Avram Grant was appointed in December 2014 to lead the team to the tournament.

 

The 2012 Ghana Premier League winner with Asante Kotoko maintained his role as assistant to Grant until he left his job in February 2017.

 

When Kwasi Appiah returned for a second stint with the team in April 2017 until December 2019, Maxwell Konadu was still around, but partnered with Ibrahim Tanko to support Appiah.

 

He was away from the team between February 2020 and September 2021, but made a return as assistant to Milovan Rajevac when the Serbian was reappointed on September 24, 2021, to succeed CK Akonnor.

 

The Black Stars head coach role became vacant after the sacking of Chris Hughton following Ghana’s horrendous display at AFCON 2023, in Cote d’Ivoire where the country exited at the group stage.
