Ghana assistant coach, George Boateng has relinquished his position at Aston Villa to focus on the Black Stars job ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Boateng has resigned from his position as Aston Villa U-23 head coach after three years with the club as the World Cup approaches.
“Leaving Aston Villa after 3 wonderful seasons was not an easy decision but having the opportunity to coach my country at the World Cup was too good to turn down,” Boateng wrote on Instagram.[ads4]
“I have learned so much and I’m grateful for the time spent at this beautiful, amazing club. I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their wonderful support and I wish the club every success in the future.”
“As for now, I will concentrate on my role as the Assistant Coach of Ghana ahead of the World Cup.”
The former Netherlands international has formerly managed Kelantan F.C. in Malaysia and Blackburn Rovers U-13.
Boateng was named a permanent Black Stars assistant coach after assisting coach Otto Addo in qualifying the team for the World Cup, where Ghana will face Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay in the group stage.
