Ghana's coaching setup has undergone a major reshuffle after Desmond Offei decided to concentrate solely on his role as Black Stars assistant coach, ending his dual responsibilities with the U-20 team.
The Ghana Football Association confirmed that Offei will step aside from his position as head coach of the Black Satellites following their upcoming WAFU A and B U-20 Championships. The decision allows him to focus entirely on supporting Otto Addo with the senior national team.
Offei had been juggling both roles since his appointment, but the demanding schedule made it increasingly difficult to give both teams the attention they deserved. His departure from the U-20 setup marks the end of a period where he was pulling double duty across different levels of Ghana football.
