The two come as additional staff to head coach Kwasi Appiah’s backroom as he prepares to lead the Black Stars’ charge to secure a first continental trophy in 37 years.



Jermaine Lopia, who has been working at Manchester City since 2014 as Performance Analyst and now with their U-18s, joins the Ghana technical team as Video and Match Analyst.



On the other hand, Simon Copley, a UEFA A License holder works at the Arsenal academy since 2015 as their current U-14 Head Coach. The former West Ham and Chelsea staff has however taken up the role of Physical Trainer for the Black Stars before and during the Afcon.






Meanwhile, three top Ghanaian coaches – Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, Sellas Tetteh and David Duncan – have also accepted to play scouting roles for the team.

Nigerians like to talk crap! This is Ghana we are talking about oooh. We all know Ghana hasn’t had a good team in about 5 or so years now. The crisis in the FA has also affected football generally. But hei Ghana will always be Ghana. You can decide to underrate Ghana at your own peril.

Ok
Because Partey is much productive when he plays in an offensive role.He has scored 8 goals the stars in that role

Sure, I believe he will be pushed up in this trial game too, what excites me about this team is the fact that we have quality on the bench

lol 1982 and we won it three times your super eggs lol won one. technically you're still behind us we've won four times lol

lol really old gyan is the highest gold king in the world cup remember Ghana has only been to the world cup three times and your Nigeria six times lol. gyan has scored in ever afcon he's been to

Ghana 0 south Africa 0 though I don't attach much important to friendly matches but I wonder why you people are over confident in this old men squad. You managed to qualify in a week group. I don't see Ghana qualifying in that group. Let's meet here after group matches

*weak group

Who are the old men? Kindly drop their names and ages , I am waiting

winning afcon is not a priority for Ghana. after winning it four times, what do we want to win it again for?

is Gyan nigeria's biggest problem? oh you nigerians are still crying over that afcon goal he scored against you,huh? when it comes to football, Nigeria is a small boy to Ghana
