In 2009, Ghanaian football witnessed a historic moment—one that should never be forgotten. Sellas Tetteh, a coach with a deep passion for the game, led the Black Satellites to an unprecedented treble, securing the African Youth Championship before conquering the world at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Against all odds, Ghana faced Brazil in the final. After a grueling battle that ended in a dramatic penalty shootout, the Black Satellites emerged victorious, making Ghana the first African nation to lift the U-20 World Cup trophy. It was a moment of pride, a moment of history.

Yet, years later, the man behind that success remains largely uncelebrated. Former Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, who was part of that victorious squad, believes it’s time to give Tetteh and his backroom staff the recognition they truly deserve.

“Sellas Tetteh and his team did a wonderful job for Ghana and deserve much more recognition. One year, three trophies,” Agyemang-Badu told Sporty FM.

Tetteh’s contributions to Ghanaian football extend beyond 2009. He has coached the Black Starlets, the Local Black Stars, and even served as caretaker coach for the senior national team. His expertise has also been sought beyond Ghana, with stints managing Rwanda and Sierra Leone.

For a man who brought so much glory to Ghana, his legacy deserves to be properly honored. It’s time for the football fraternity to celebrate Sellas Tetteh—before it’s too late.
