Ghana Premier League: Maxwell Konado appointed GoldStars head coach, joins on a two-year deal
Maxwell Konadu has been named the new head coach of Bibiani GoldStars, signing a two-year contract with the reigning Ghana Premier League champions.
The imminent appointment marks a return to top-flight management for the former Black Stars assistant, who brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for tactical discipline.
Konadu steps in following the dismissal of Frimpong Manso, who was relieved of his duties after GoldStars’ 2–0 defeat to JS Kabylie in the CAF Champions League preliminary round. The team’s continental campaign ended in disappointment, with a 5–0 loss in Algeria under interim coach Nana Yaw Amankwah, sealing a 7–0 aggregate exit.
Konadu’s Managerial Pedigree
The new boss arrives with a strong résumé:
- Former manager of Asante Kotoko
- Led Legon Cities in the GPL
- Coached Black Meteors and Black Leopards (South Africa)
- Served as assistant coach of the Black Stars
- Won the WAFU Cup with Black Galaxies in 2017
Konadu’s contract runs until 2027, and he is tasked with defending the league title and restoring continental credibility.
Konadu is expected to take charge of the dugout when GoldStars face Asante Kotoko in a rescheduled GPL fixture on Wednesday, October 8 under the lights at the Kumasi Baba Yara Sports Stadium at 19:00 GMT.
The clash will be a high-stakes reunion for Konadu, who previously managed the Porcupine Warriors and now returns to Kumasi with a point to prove.
