Former Black Stars trainer Rudi Gutendorf has died aged 93, his family has reported.

Gutendorf, who also coached Rwanda's national team after the 1994 genocide, passed on in his native Germany.

The German trainer led the Black Stars between 1985 and 1986 supported by the late Cecil Jones Atuquafio and Charles Kumi Gyamfi.
He was in charge of the Black Stars at the truncated 1986 AFCON in a lengthy managerial career, that spanned five decades.

He coach an incredible 55 teams, including 18 national teams in more than 30 countries around the world.

Gutendorf's family said in a statement that the coach had touched many people: "As a 'restless Rudi,' he was always a man full of energy and enthusiasm for his family and his beloved football,"
"We are losing someone who has enriched us every day with his big heart and positivity," Gutendorf's family said in a statement.

His last national job was at Samoa in 2003 but he still yearned to manage teams deep into this eighties.
