The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed tactician Salifu Fatawu to take charge of the national U-15 boys’ team as its head coach.
The FA announced the appointment of the experienced tactician on Thursday, August 21, in an official notice.
“Experienced trainer Salifu Fatawu has been appointed as the new head coach of the national U-15 boys’ team. Fatawu brings with him a rich coaching background, having led Kpando Heart of Lions to qualification into the Ghana Premier League from the Division One League,” the GFA said in a statement on its website.
In the past, Salifu Fatawu served as assistant coach to Karim Zito when the Black Satellites clinched the U-20 WAFU Championship in Benin in 2020 and went on to win the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Mauritania in 2021.
He also worked closely with Desmond Ofei during his tenure with the team.
In his new role, Coach Salifu Fatawu will be assisted by former Asante Kotoko skipper and current Heart of Lions deputy coach, Daniel Nii Adjei, while Mubarak Gardo, head coach of Thought FC, will serve as the Athletic Coach.
They are expected to form the nucleus of a technical team tasked with nurturing Ghana’s next generation of football stars.
The other members of the technical setup include Raphael Tommy as Welfare Officer, Issah Abdullah as Equipment Officer, Dr. Akwasi Duah as Team Doctor, and Solomon Adu as Physiotherapist.
The newly constituted technical team is expected to provide the right balance of experience, technical know-how, and support services to accelerate the development of the U-15 squad.
