Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, the Technical Director, revealed that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has undergone a comprehensive review of the License B coaching course, expanding it from two modules to three. In an exclusive interview with Sportblog247.com, Prof. Mintah explained that the initial structure included a 15-day theory module followed by a 30-day working attachment with a club.

“CAF has reviewed it, and now they want us to have it in 3 modules,” Professor Mintah confirmed. Despite the review, he mentioned that the training for the first two batches had already been completed based on the previous format.

“All these courses have to be sent to CAF, the videos, the contents, etc., for approval before we can get permission to run each one of them,” he added, highlighting the necessary steps for course accreditation.

For the upcoming second training session, Prof. Mintah outlined the new structure, with the first module lasting 8 days, followed by a 30-day attachment with a club, and concluding with a final 7-day module.

Prof. Mintah stressed the importance of providing effective coaching, particularly at the COLTS and grassroots levels for players aged 6-15. He expressed satisfaction with the 1700 license D coaches nationwide, emphasizing their role in training and developing players at the grassroots level.

“These license D Coaches have been equipped with the know-how to train and develop players at the COLTS level,” Prof. Mintah affirmed. He expressed optimism about the positive impact on junior national teams and clubs as a result of enhanced grassroots coaching.
