I have the qualities to coach Black Stars – Former Gold Stars coach Michael Osei

Former Asante Kotoko and Bibiani Gold Stars coach, Michael Osei, has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant position of Ghana head coach.

Drawing on his extensive coaching background, which includes guiding Ghana’s U23 team alongside coach Ibrahim Tanko, Osei feels well-equipped for the role.

Speaking on Akoma 87.9 FM, Osei confirmed his application for the position, expressing confidence in his capabilities, saying, “Yes, I have applied for the job because I believe that with everything I’ve learnt, I am capable of coaching the squad.”

Osei underlined his coaching experience with young talents like Majeed Ashimeru, Enerst Nuamah, and Osman Bukari, all of whom are part of the current Black Stars setup.

He also emphasized his familiarity with Ghanaian culture and his unwavering commitment to success, stating, “I’ve been coaching in Ghana for about 12 years, totalling nearly 15 years of coaching experience. Ghana is also my home country, so I understand the culture, have the expertise, and believe now is the time to coach the squad, and I’m always a winner.”

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is on the lookout for a proven winner with more than 15 years of coaching experience to fill the void left by Chris Hughton’s departure.

Osei is optimistic about his chances and is ready to embrace the challenge. The GFA is expected to conduct interviews and assessments before reaching a decision on the next head coach of the Black Stars.
