Desmond Ofei has officially concluded his tenure as head coach of Ghana’s U20 national team, the Black Satellites, following a triumphant 2-0 victory over Niger in the third-place playoff of the 2025 WAFU B U20 Championship.
The win, secured at the University of Ghana Stadium, saw Aziz Musibau net a brace to seal the bronze medal for Ghana and mark a successful end to Ofei’s three-year spell in charge of the team.
This latest medal becomes the second major honour earned under Ofei’s leadership, adding to the African Games title and a runner-up finish in the 2024 edition of the WAFU B tournament. His side also reached the quarterfinals of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations and the semifinals of the current WAFU B competition, reinforcing his legacy of consistency and competitiveness.
Throughout his tenure, Ofei was widely credited for his technical leadership, player development, and tactical discipline, helping to mold a new generation of promising Ghanaian talent. His strategic approach and mentorship allowed young players to gain invaluable experience on both regional and continental stages.
As he departs the U20 setup to focus fully on his new role as assistant coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars, Ofei leaves behind a well-structured foundation for future coaches to build upon.
His contribution to Ghanaian football at youth level will be remembered for fostering progress, instilling professionalism, and laying a roadmap for long-term success.
With Desmond Ofei now transitioning to the Black Stars, Ghana’s U20 team will begin a new chapter, one built on the solid groundwork and high standards set during his impactful tenure.
