“There are many former goalkeepers in the country and for you to be given the job as a goalkeepers' coach is a big privilege.

“All I need to do now is to do my best for the team and make sure we get good and great goalkeepers for the Black Stars.”

The Black Stars currently have three goalkeepers in Adam Kwarasey, Fatau Dauda and Razak Brimah battling for the no.1 spot, and it remains to be seen who will get the nod in Kwesi Appiah’s first official match.
