All Blacks appoint Osam Duodu

ANOTHER TASK AHEAD FOR OSAM Former Black Stars coach Fred Osam Duodu has been appointed technical director of Ghanaian Premier League side, Gamba All Blacks.

The two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner is to work in tandem with new head coach Abubakari Yusif of the C K Gyamfi Winneba Sports College.

The 72-year-old won Gambia's first continental silverware as Under-17 coach during the 2005 Africa Under-17 Championship on home soil.

Duodu claims he is yet to be officially made known of his appointment. 

In a statement released by the club on Thursday, Emmanuel Omani will assist coach Yusif and former Ghana youth international Willie Brown becomes team manager.  

This is the first major appointment by the new management headed by Japanese business man Toshihira Iawa after he acquired 70 per cent shares in the club.

The Black Magicians placed eighth last term and have targeted to improve their standings in the league.
