He comes with a wealth of experience having coached top clubs in the country including Ashantigold, Olympics, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko as well as outside the country with South African side, Free State Stars.

The CAF License A holder has also coached the national Under-17 in 2004 where he led them to win silver at the 2005 African Under-17 Championship in Gambia as well as in 2011 where he coached the national Under-23 team.
In his two decades of coaching experience, the former Accra Great Olympics player has won many trophies including the GHALCA President's Cup with Hearts of Oak in 2013, led Asante Kotoko to win SWAG Cup in 2015, MTN FA Cup runners up in 2015, GHALCA 6 Cup in 2016 and won Ghana Coach of the Year Award in 2006.
