Former Black Satellite Coach Desmond Ofei has been appointed as the new head coach of the national U23 men’s team, the Black Meteors by the Ghana Football Association.

Ofei, who currently serves as the Assistant Coach of the Black Stars, replaces Kassim Mingle who has been named as Black Galaxies boss.

He will be assisted by Yaw Preko and Baba Nuhu Malam as assistant coaches.

The Black Meteors’ technical team also includes Montari Tagoe, a former Asante Kotoko and Medeama SC goalkeeper, who will serve as the Goalkeepers Coach.

Aduana Stars Welfare Officer Atta Yeboah takes up the role of Team Manager, while Henry Bart-Plange will serve as Team Masseur and Baba Aluta of Aduana Stars as the Equipment Officer.

Eli Vorgbe has been named as the Video Analyst, adding modern technical support to the setup.

On the medical side, Dr. Eric Tetteh will lead as Team Doctor with Collins Annor appointed as the Physiotherapist.

The GFA says the newly formed technical team is “expected to provide the necessary support to elevate the Black Meteors’ performance as they prepare for upcoming assignments.”

The meteors have not qualified for the Olympics Games since 2004.
