Ghanaian Lower-tier outfit Cornerstone FC appoint Samuel Boadu as stop-gap coach

Published on: 24 July 2023

Former Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu has been appointed as head coach of lower-tier club Kumasi Cornerstone FC.

Boadu returns to club management after leaving Hearts of Oak early last season following an impressive result.

The former Medeama trainer joins the sleeping Ghanaian giants as a stop-gap coach. His primary goal is to guide the squad back to the National Division One League after successfully regaining promotion to Division Two having suffered demotion to the fourth tier only two seasons ago.

"We are delighted to announce Mr. Samuel Boadu as a stop-gap coach. We are certain that Boadu's experience and standard of excellence as a tactician will impact Cornerstone Football Club positively as we work assiduously to revive our old glory Welcome 'Kofi Yesu'," wrote the club on Twitter.

Boadu recently led the Black Satellites to the just-ended WAFU B Cup of Nations, where Ghana suffer early elimination at the tournament in Ivory Coast.

Cornerstone FC boast the oldest existing team from the Ashanti Region having been founded in 1931, four years before Asante Kotoko's establishment.

They also have an impressive history in Ghana football following their two FA Cup triumphs in 1959 and 1965.

They also won the WAFU Championship in 1998.

However, they, unfortunately, vanished after their relegation from the top flight in the late 90s while suffering a series of demotions further down the Ghanaian football ladder.
