Ghana Premier League side, AshantiGold Sporting Club have appointed Ernest Thompson Quartey as the new head coach ahead of the 2021/22 football season.
The experienced gaffer replaces Thomas Duah for the new campaign.
A statement from AshantiGold reads, “๐๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ are delighted to announce ๐๐๐บ๐ an agreement has been reached with ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ become the club’s new head coach.”
The Miners have never had a substantive head coach since Frenchman Romain Folz left the team last season.
Thomas Duah led the club on an interim basis and guided the team to the MTN FA Cup finals last season, losing to Hearts of Oak on penalty shootouts.
The Obuasi based club changed coaches about five times before the end of the 2020/2021 season and finished 9th on the league table.
Roberto Landi, Milovan Cirkovic, Romain Folz, Sarfo Castro and Thomas Duah all took charge of the club at some point in time during the last season.
Ernest Thompson joined the Miners after leaving Ebusua Dwarfs.
