Asante Kotoko Communications Director, Sarfo Duku, has downplayed the reputation of Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club, insisting they were “overhyped” ahead of last Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round clash in Kumasi.
Gremio forward Francis Amuzu has dismissed suggestions that his renewed interest in representing Ghana is merely an attempt to feature at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, insisting that his commitment to the Black Stars is genuine and long-standing.
Wydad Athletic Club assistant coach Brahim Nakach has praised his side’s focus and determination following their narrow victory over Asante Kotoko in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Black Queens have kicked off preparations in Ismailia, Egypt, ahead of their decisive 2026 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier against the Cleopatras of Egypt later this week.
Heart of Lions head coach Bashir Hayford has issued a strong warning to his players after their unbeaten run came to a crashing end with a 3–1 defeat to Bibiani Gold Stars in the Ghana Premier League on Monday afternoon.
Bibiani Goldstars have reportedly abandoned their initial plans to appoint former Legon Cities boss Maxwell Konadu as head coach following the dismissal of Frimpong Manso, opting instead to explore foreign options for the vacant role.
The Miners, who recently parted ways with Manso after a difficult their poor showing in the CAF Champions League campaign, has placed assistant coach Nana Yaw Amankwah in interim charge while the search for a new manager continues.
According to sources within the club, Goldstars’ hierarchy has now shifted focus toward securing a foreign tactician, believing that an expatriate coach could inject fresh technical ideas, tactical flexibility, and international experience to elevate the team’s performance.
In the meantime, Amankwah is tasked with steadying the ship and ensuring consistency as the Miners aim to climb the league table in the coming weeks.
The club remains optimistic that a new appointment will be made soon, but management insists the priority is finding the right candidate to match their long-term vision.
