After guiding Dreams FC to their first ever major silverware on the local scene by winning the GHALCA G8 Tournament, Coach Abdul Karim Zito has been named the head coach of Ghana’s U-17 male national team, the Black Starlets.
Former Hearts of Oak trainer, Yaw Preko, will assist the celebrated coach whose experience cannot be underestimated.
Zito who has coached both Kotoko and Hearts before is expected to employ his experience and knowledge to help unearth talent and nurture them for the future.
He takes over from Paa Kwesi Fabin who guided the side to win Silver at the 2017 U-17 AFCON and also got to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
