Professor J.K. Mintah has been named as the Black Stars assistant coach for the two matches against Guinea in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The former Ebusua Dwarfs coach started work in the position since the team started training at their camp in Casablanca on Tuesday.

This has become necessary because Maxwell Konadu, who is the substantive assistant coach, is now acting as the head coach of the Black Stars.

Mintah, who is the Black Stars team psychologist, has accepted his new role for the two matches in Casablanca and Tamale on Saturday and Wednesday respectively.

Ghana are looking for a substantive coach after parting ways with Kwesi Appiah.
