Ghana assistant coach Maxwell Konadu has been named caretaker trainer of the Black Stars following the departure of Avram Grant.

The ex-Ghana striker will be in charge of the national team until the GFA installs a substantive coach.

He will lead the team for next month’s FIFA free date for international friendlies if the Ghana FA finds an opponent.

He will be assisted by the team;s psychologist Professor Joseph Mintah who is also a qualified coach.

Konadu acted in the same capacity in 2014 and led the team in two qualifiers to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

He later deputized for his departed boss Avram Grant the past 18 months.

Konadu has been with the Ghana national team since 2012.
