Professor JK Mintah has been appointed as the new Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association after the departure of Bernhard Lippert.
From the University of Northern Iowa in the United States, he received a Master of Arts in Physical Education and a Doctorate in Education (Sport Psychology).
All of the technical handlers were fired by GFA after the shocking elimination of the Ghana Blackstars from the AFCON Group stage.
Ghanaians called for the coach and the technical team to be fired after the Blackstars were eliminated two times in a row, indicating that the development did not go well.
The Kurt Okraku administration has also come under fire from others for managing the national teams poorly. The female national teams have done appallingly well under Kurk, except for the men’s teams.
He was the psychologist for the national teams before assuming his new role. Additionally, he has a Confederation of African Football (CAF) Instructors “A” License Certificate.
He was the head coach of the Cape Coast Mysterious Dwarfs, a Ghana Premier League team, from 2010 to 2014, and he also filled the role of interim assistant coach for the Ghana Black Stars during the 2014 CAF Qualifiers.
Prof. Mintah has been a field coach as well as the dean of the faculty of science and technology education at the University of Cape Coast and Ghana’s College of Education Studies.
