Maxwell Konadu no longer in line for Bibiani GoldStars job as club targets foreign coach

Former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu will no longer be taking charge of Bibiani Gold Stars, despite earlier reports linking him to the role.The experienced coach had been tipped to replace Frimpong Manso, who was surprisingly dismissed just a few games into the current season. Manso’s sacking came as a shock, especially after he led Gold Stars to their first-ever league title last season, a remarkable achievement in the club’s history.However, a 2-0 home defeat to Algerian side JS Kabylie in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round reportedly prompted management to act swiftly. Dissatisfied with the team’s early performance in Africa, the club decided to part ways with the title-winning coach.For now, assistant coach Nana Yaw Amankwah has been placed in temporary charge as Gold Stars look to steady their form.Sources indicate that the club has shifted its attention toward hiring a foreign manager, believing an expatriate could bring new ideas and international experience.While Konadu’s possible appointment had excited many fans, the club’s board seems determined to explore a different direction to sustain their ambitions both locally and on the continent.
