Bibiani Gold Stars Call Off Maxwell Konadu Deal, Set Sights on Foreign Coach

1

Former Black Stars assistant coach, Maxwell Konadu will not be taking charge of Bibiani Gold Stars despite earlier rumors linking him to the vacant coaching position.

The experienced tactician was widely expected to replace Frimpong Manso, who was unexpectedly dismissed early this season following a surprising string of results.

Manso’s shock sacking came shortly after leading Gold Stars to their first-ever league title last season, a historic milestone for the club.

However, the management grew concerned after the team suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Algerian giants JS Kabylie in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round, prompting swift action from the club’s hierarchy.

With the team underperforming in continental competition and doubts growing over local success, the club decided to part ways with their title-winning coach.

In the interim, assistant coach Nana Yaw Amankwah has been appointed caretaker manager as Gold Stars seek to stabilize their form.

Reports suggest the club’s board is now focusing its efforts on recruiting a foreign manager, hoping that an international figure will inject fresh ideas and bring valuable experience to the side.

This strategic move aims to sustain the club’s ambitions both in the Ghana Premier League and CAF tournaments.

Though fans were initially excited by the prospect of Konadu joining the bench, the club appears committed to a different direction that prioritizes long-term growth.

The search for a new expatriate coach is underway as Gold Stars look to build on their recent success and strengthen their position on the continental stage.
