Black Stars assistant coach, George Boateng has confirmed his resignation from his role as the head coach for the Aston Villa U23 team.
The England-based tactician was appointed as one of two assistant coaches to deputise Coach Otto Addo earlier this year prior to Ghana’s world cup playoff clash against Nigeria.
After making several considerations, Coach George Boateng has decided to leave the Aston Villa job.
In a statement on his Instagram page on Thursday, August 25, the coach says the decision is to allow him to focus on the Black Stars job.
“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,” part of a statement from the coach reads.
George Boateng adds, “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 the 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 coach will be expected to bring his expertise to bear to help Ghana do well at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
At the Qatar tournament, the Black Stars will face Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H.
