Former Ghanaian goalkeeper Abdul-Fatawu Dauda has accepted a significant role as the goalkeeper's trainer for the Sudanese national team.
Dauda, who has coaching positions at the Right to Dream Academy and with the Ghana national under-20 team, caught the attention of the Sudanese Football Association due to his coaching success.
The 38-year-old, who was once Ghana's first-choice goalkeeper, has transitioned into coaching after retiring from professional play.
Sudan is offering Dauda an annual salary of $770,000, making him one of the highest-earning Ghanaian coaches, second only to Coach James Kwasi Appiah who reportedly will earn $1.5 million. No other Ghanaian coach, whether domestically or abroad, comes close to earning these figures.
Sudan intends to base its team in Saudi Arabia or Egypt as they aim to qualify for the AFCON and World Cup tournaments.
