Former Black Stars Assistant Coach, Maxwell Konadu, has officially resigned from his role as head coach of South African club Black Leopards.
Konadu, who took charge in July 2024 on a three-year contract after leading Ghanaian side Nsoatreman FC to an MTN FA Cup victory, submitted his resignation to the club’s management on Sunday.
His decision comes in the aftermath of Black Leopards’ 1-0 loss to Leruma United.
The 52-year-old was brought in with the mandate to secure promotion to the Premier Soccer League but leaves the team sitting 10th on the league table, trailing leaders Durban City FC by 11 points.
Maxwell Konadu succeeded Stan Nkoane, who had been coaching the Venda Football Academy before Konadu’s appointment.
Since joining Black Leopards, Konadu’s record has been a bit challenging. He managed to secure 23 points from 17 matches, placing the team in 10th position in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough to meet the club’s goal of promotion to the Premier Soccer League, and the team was 11 points behind leaders Durban City FC.
