FA secures development opportunities for coaches

The Technical Directorate of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has brokered a deal with three European clubs, namely, Borussia Dortmund, Darmstadt FC and TSG Hoffeinheim for attachment opportunities for Ghanaian Coaches.

This follows engagements between Technical Director Bernhard Lippert and the three German clubs in the last few months.

The deal will give national team coaches (male and female) as well as top coaches in the top tier leagues the opportunity to have practical stints with these clubs at different time intervals to broaden their horizon and to equip them with the modern trends of the game, a statement from the FA said.

“It is worth mentioning that a similar discussion is currently being held with Spanish La Liga club Cadiz Football Club with a formal announcement expected in the coming days,” the statement added.

It said the Technical Directorate was working to improve the level of coaching at club and national team level to position Ghana football at the apex of world football, adding that other top quality interventions would be enrolled in the not too distant future.

The Technical Directorate of the Ghana Football Association is headed by former Eintracht Frankfurt manager Bernhard Lippert with support from Director of Coaching Education, Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah and other administrative staff. -GFA
