Bibiani Gold Stars have parted ways with head coach Frimpong Manso following a 2-0 defeat to JS Kabylie in the CAF Champions League preliminary round. Manso, who joined the club two and a half seasons ago when they were battling relegation, guided them to safety and later made history by leading the side to the Ghana Premier League title in only their second campaign in the top flight.
Key Highlights of Manso’s Tenure:
– *League Title: Manso won the Ghana Premier League with Gold Stars in the previous season, marking a significant milestone for the club.
– GHALCA Top 4 Cup: He also led the team to victory in the prestigious GHALCA Top 4 Cup earlier this year.
– *Continental Debut*: Under Manso’s guidance, Gold Stars made their debut in the CAF Champions League, although their maiden foray proved challenging.
Immediate Future:
– Interim Coach: Manso’s assistant, Nana Yaw Amankwah, or Godwin Ablordey might take charge of preparations ahead of the return leg in Algeria on September 26.
– Return Leg Challenge: Gold Stars will need to overturn the 2-0 deficit to stand a chance of making it to the next round.¹ ²
