The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum as the new Head of Coach for Education, replacing Desmond Ofei.
The decision was announced on Monday as part of a broader restructuring of the GFA’s technical leadership.
Dr Ogum, a former head coach of Asante Kotoko and WAFA, will also serve as the head coach of Ghana’s U-17 national team, the Black Starlets.
His dual role signals the Association’s commitment to strengthening both grassroots football and the technical development of local coaches.
The GFA expressed gratitude to Desmond Ofei for his contributions, particularly in laying a strong foundation during his tenure.
Ofei recently guided Ghana’s U-20 side to a silver medal at the WAFU Zone B Championship in the Ivory Coast, helping the team qualify for the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
In his new role, Dr Ogum is expected to oversee the education and licensing of coaches across all levels in Ghana, with a focus on modern training methods and technical standards.
His appointment comes ahead of the 2025 WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship in Nigeria, with preparations already underway.
The GFA says it is confident that Dr Ogum’s experience and academic background will strengthen Ghana’s technical direction at both youth and senior levels.
