Yaw Preko has been tasked by the owners of Nsoatreman FC to lead the club to the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. The former Ghana international was named head coach of the FA Cup winners on Monday following the departure of Maxwell Konadu, who has moved to South Africa to work with Black Leopards.

At an official ceremony in Nsuatre, Preko was introduced to the players and management as he signed his contract to lead the team. During his unveiling, club owner and Member of Parliament for Sunyani West, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, set the ambitious target for Preko.

“Just like we agreed with Maxwell Konadu that in his first season, we were not expecting much but aimed for him to win the league in his second season, we are also not expecting that much from [Yaw Preko] in his first season,” he said. “However, for Africa, at least he should take us to the group stage, and the rest in the course of the league season, we will review our positions.”

Nsoatreman FC will learn their opponents for the preliminary stage of the competition on Thursday, July 11, 2024.
