Richard Kingson, a former Black Stars goalkeeper, has been named as the Black Stars’ goalkeepers coach by the Ghana Football Association.

Najawu Issah, who was reassigned to the Black Stars B, is replaced by the 43-year-old.

Richard Kingson formerly worked as a goalkeepers trainer under Kwasi Appiah from May 2017 to May 2018, but was removed of his duties two years later.

Before retiring from international football in 2017, he made roughly 90 senior national team appearances for Ghana during a two-decade period.

In 2006 and 2010, the former Great Olympics and Birmingham City shot stopper represented Ghana in two FIFA World Cup events, as well as five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

In September 2021, the Black Stars will play Ethiopia and South Africa in a bid to qualify for the World Cup in 2022.
