In an exclusive development, former Ghana assistant coach Maxwell Konadu is on the verge of joining South African club Black Leopards, with negotiations nearing completion.

Konadu, currently with Nsoatreman FC, has secured permission to leave the Ghanaian club following his desire to move to South Africa.

During his tenure, Konadu notably guided Nsoatreman to success in the Ghana FA Cup and a commendable fourth-place finish in the Premier League, sparking interest from multiple clubs.

The experienced coach is expected to finalize a three-year contract with Black Leopards this week.

Meanwhile, Nsoatreman is actively seeking a replacement to lead the team in their debut appearance in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Konadu’s departure follows a prosperous stint with Nsoatreman, and his imminent challenge in South Africa is highly anticipated.

Having achieved notable feats such as winning the Ghana FA Cup and achieving a top-four league finish, Konadu brings substantial coaching acumen to his new role with Black Leopards.

His move signifies a new chapter in his career, and he aims to contribute his expertise and experience to Black Leopards’ quest for promotion to the South African Premier League next season.
