Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi says Black Stars physical trainer Jamie Lawrence and video analyst Gerald Nus will be handed permanent deals.

This follows the association's satisfaction with their role played at the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea.

The duo joined the Black Stars technical team on short-term deals on the recommendation of Black Stars coach Avram Grant.

After reviewing Ghana’s campaign, the Ghana  FA noted that, Jamie and Gerald played instrumental roles and Nyantakyi says their stay will be made permanent.

“The inclusion of these professionals has proven to be a very useful experience and so the Football Association is considering making it a permanent feature of the technical team so that we can enjoy the benefits of the services of these people,” he told Joy Sports.  

“We will extend their services beyond the Black Stars to the other national teams.

“We are going to consider training local people to acquire the needed expertise in this barren area since we don’t have many people in this country with that expertise.”

England-born Jamaican international Lawrence played for English Premier League side Leicester.

Nus has experience working in a number of countries, including England where he worked alongside compatriot Rafael Benitez at Liverpool FC as a part of the reserve coaching staff.

He worked under Uruguayan Gustavo Poyet at Brighton as the Head of Academy Coaching before leaving via mutual consent in January of 2013
