WAFA appoint Guillermo Hamdan Zaragoza as new head coach

West African Football Academy (WAFA) has announced the appointment of Spanish Guillermo Hamdan Zaragoza as the new head coach of the First Team.

Guille replaces Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum who joined Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko last month after guiding the Academy lads to a third-place finish.

The former Real Madrid youth team trainer has joined the Sogakope-based club ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

He holds a UEFA PRO coaching certificate and has lived in five countries USA, Mexico, Italy, Qatar and Spain. He speaks five languages- English, Italian, Spanish, French and Arabic.

A statement from WAFA announcing the appointment of the Spanish trainer reads, ” We are delighted to announce the appointment of Guillermo Hamdan Zaragoza ?? as head coach of the First Team. Guille [pronounced GUI-YE] will be with us for the entire 2021/22 season.”

He has been in Ghana for the past week, training the Academy boys ahead of the commencement of the season.

He will be assisted by Ibrahim Saddick who was also the assistant during Prosper Narteh’s time.

The 2021/22 Ghana Premier League will kick start October 29, and WAFA will lock horns with King Faisal in the first game of the campaign on October 31.
