Richard Kingston maintained as Black Stars goalkeepers’ trainer

Published on: 20 March 2023

Former Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingston has been maintained as the goalkeepers’ coach of the Black Stars.

Earlier reports in the local media suggested the former Blackpool shot stopper will lose his job as Black Stars goalkeepers trainer.

But the 44-year-old has been maintained by the Ghana Football Association and is expected to produce top goalkeepers for the country.

The former Galatasaray goalie was named among the Chris Hughton’s led technical team during his unveiling at the SG Mall on Monday morning in Kumasi.

The former Brighton manager has been handed one-and-half-year contract and will be in charge of the national team until December 2024.

Hughton will be assisted by Didi Dramani and George Boateng, who served under Otto Addo during his reign.

Both Didi and Boateng signed similar contract with the Ghana Football Association and are expected to help Hughton to excel with the national team.

The technical team first assignment is against Angola in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers. Ghana will host Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday before the reverse fixture in Luanda on March 27.

Ghana leads the qualifying group after a draw and a win in their first two games, but Angola is close behind, and two wins will give the Black Stars a solid chance to qualify.
