Techiman-based division two side Gold Stars FC have appointed Hearts of Oak legend Bernard Dong-Bortey as their new head coach.
Dong-Bortey who is yet to receive his CAF License C certificate will be at the dugout of the team when the league season returns.
Speaking in an interview after his appointment, Dong-Bortey said he has accepted the appointment to fulfill his dream of helping the younger generation with the knowledge and experience that he has acquired during his playing day.

“I want to concentrate on helping the younger generation with the vast knowledge I had in football during my playing days,” Bortey told Graphic Sports.
“I have been coaching for two years now and so far so good. It is very stressful but I believe I have a lot to offer these young ones.’
“It is a very difficult job but I’m determined to work harder to make a mark in coaching.”
The 37-year old had a short coaching stint at Accra-based Emmanuel FC where he worked under ex-Ghana international goalkeeper Richard Kingson.
He was a kingpin at Hearts of Oak during his playing days from 2001-2010 where he helped the team to win the 2004 CAF Confederation Cup and the Ghana Premier League on four occasions.
