GFA names former Great Olympics trainer as Black Sharks head coach for Egypt qualifier

The confirmation of the former Accra Great Olympics trainer comes just days after the Black Sharks of Ghana were drawn to play against the Sand Pharoahs of Egypt in the 2022 Beach Soccer Afcon Qualifier slated for Accra and Cairo respectively.

Coach Kotey comes with a rich experience in Beach Soccer, having led the team to consecutive Afcons in Seychelles and Nigeria as well as four straight Afcon qualifying wins against Uganda and Kenya amongst others.

Coach Kotey was also in charge when the Black Sharks famously beat Senegal 4-3 in the 2016 Beach Soccer Afcon in Seychelles.
