Yusif Basigi Lands Appointment As Black Queens B Head Coach
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Yusif Basigi as the new head coach of the Black Queens B team, a home-based version of the female senior national team of Ghana- the Black Queens.
The former Black Queens coach, Yusif Basigi, will be assisted by former Black Queens defender Dora Zuta, while former Asante Kotoko and Black Stars goalkeeper Isaac Amoako will handle goalkeeping duties.
The FA also announced Aboagye Dacosta as Athletic Coach, with Memunatu Mumuni taking up the role of Equipment Officer and Princess Amoako serving as the team’s Welfare Manager.
On the medical side, Dr. Baah Christiana will lead as the Team Doctor, assisted by Rabiatu Abubakar as Team Masseur and Gyamfuaa Amponsah as Physiotherapist.
“This diverse backroom staff is expected to provide the necessary technical and logistical support to elevate the performance of the Black Queens B.”
According to the GFA, the appointment of Yusif Basigi and his team reflects the GFA’s commitment to building a strong pipeline for women’s football in Ghana.
“The Black Queens B serves as a critical link between the youth national teams and the senior Black Queens side, offering a platform for emerging talent to develop and break into the senior ranks,” it said.
