Since the establishment of the Juventus Academy Ghana in October 2023, Joyce Annor Yeboah popularly known in the media industry as Afia Empress becomes the first-ever female Ghanaian tactician to join the coaching staff of the academy.
Having acquired her CAF Coaching license while pursuing her tertiary education at the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), the 24-year-old has been visiting clubs in seeking for coaching knowledge and has been handed a top role in the dugout of Juventus Ghana Academy.
She will be spending time with all the ranks of the model academy spearheaded by ex-Ghana and Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah in her bid to tab their technical know-how over their coaching acumen.
