The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Kassim Ocansey Mingle as the new Head Coach of the Black Galaxies, Ghana’s CHAN Team.
Mingle, who is currently the head coach of Premier League side Nations FC, has earned a reputation as one of the most innovative coaches in Ghana. He previously transformed Bechem United before joining Nations FC, where he narrowly missed out on the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League title to Bibiani Goldstars.
He will be supported by an experienced backroom staff, with Samuel Boadu, head coach of Berekum Chelsea, named as Assistant Coach. Boadu has previously coached Medeama SC and guided Hearts of Oak to the Ghana Premier League and FA Cup double in 2021. Former Ghana U20 captain and current coach of Attram Di Visser, Godwin Attram, also joins the team as an assistant coach, while former Black Stars goalkeeper Stephen Ahorlu takes charge as Goalkeepers Coach.
Former Black Stars Team Manager, Henry Martey will serve as Welfare Officer of the Black Galaxies, with Justice Kofi Mensah and Francis Ofori acting as Kit Managers. The team’s medical and support staff include Gilbert Yankson as Physiotherapist, Abass Adjei-Grant as Video Analyst, Dr. Abena Tannor as Team Doctor, and Prince Charles Anokye as Team Masseur.
Dr. Abena Yeboaa Tannor is a specialist in Family Medicine and Sports, Exercise, and Rehabilitation Medicine and also serves as the Chairperson of the Medical Committee of the GFA. She is also a Training Coordinator of the Sports, Exercise and Rehabilitation Medicine Fellowship Program and is a highly respected member of the Faculty of Family Medicine at the Ghana college of Physicians and Surgeons.
This experienced technical and backroom team reflects the GFA’s commitment to preparing a competitive Black Galaxies squad capable of excelling at the next CHAN tournament and restoring Ghana’s dominance on the continental stage.
Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has been excused to concentrate on his new role following his appointment as head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak.
