Grant to handle local Stars for Japan friendly

Black Stars coach, Avram Grant, will lead the local Black Stars to face Japan’s U23 team in an international friendly in May this year.

Coach Grant will be assisted by his deputy, Maxwell Konadu, who is also the head coach of the home-based national team.

The Israeli trainer is currently on a trip to Europe to monitor players and he is expected to return to the country at the end of the month.

Grant, whose absence from the country generated a lot of debate, has a fair idea of players in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) after watching some matches this season. 

Meanwhile,  Accra Hearts of Oak’s emerging super substitute Musah Ibrahim, who has so far scored three goals in two matches in the Ghana Premier League, has earned a call-up into the local Black Stars team.

His invitation would enable Coach Konadu, who has been monitoring the player’s performance in the league, to further assess him in the national team.
