The man who guided Ghana to win its first African title and two others subsequently, Charles Kumi Gyamfi, has died.
The 86-year-old football legend is famous for being the first African player to play in Germany, when he joined Fortuna Düsseldorf in 1960.
He passed on at the Cocoa Clinic in Accra.
CK Gyamfi was among the few people to play for Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Gyamfi won three Africa Cup of Nations trophies, making him one of the most successful coaches in the continental tournament besides former Egypt manager Hassan Shehata.
