Feature: Meet top 5 best Black Stars coaches of all-time

Ghana Senior National Football Team has had 8 local coaches and 23 foreign tacticians over the years, who have achieved varying degrees of successes.

1. C.K Gyamfi
The former Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Black Stars striker was the first coach to win the Africa Cup of Nations on three occasions, making him the most outstanding in the list of 32 coaches to have controlled the dugout of the Black Stars over the years: AFCON 1963, AFCON 1965 and AFCON 1982. His feat was equaled by Hassan Shehatta of Egypt in 2010

C.K as he was popularly called, made the Black Stars a championship side when they played their debut African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 1963 and won on home soil. He again masterminded their triumph in 1965 on Tunisian soil to become the first country to beat a host nation in the final.

The only minus in that era was that Ghana failed to translate their continental feat into World Cup qualification. At the time, there was only one slot shared by Africa and Asia, making qualification difficult. Ghana slipped in the African part of the qualifiers for the World Cup.

The man revered by many on the continent made it a hat-trick as a coach by winning the Africa Cup of Nations for a record third time when against all odds he led the Black Stars to beat hosts Libya on North African soil. That would be the last time the Black Stars would win the Africa Cup of Nations. He gave whiz kid Abedi Pele the chance to feature prominently in the Black Stars.
