King Faisal names Peruvian as new head coach

King Faisal has agreed terms with Peruvian, Carlos Roberto Paulette as head of the technical team.

Paulette was in charge of Real Tamale United (RTU) during the latter stages of their campaign last season and will be expected to bring his experience to bear by guiding the Kumasi-based side to a respectable finish.

Akomeah Sakyi Boateng, Public Relations Manager of Faisal told GNA Sports on Thursday, the Club had agreed terms with the Peruvian to assume the technical reins of the club.

He explained the penning of contract has delayed due to the absence of Alhaji Karim Gruzah, founder and bankroller of the club, who is on a working visit abroad.

The two parties are expected to sign a contract next week to officially commit him to the job.

He said the hiring of Paulette had become necessary as interim head coach, Mallam Yahaya lacked the requisite credentials to handle the team. This is in view of the fact that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has passed a motion allowing only Confederation of African Football (CAF) License ‘A’ holders to supervise clubs in the elite division.

Yahaya, a former national star has been relegated to a deputy for the Peruvian.

Paulette, an expert in juvenile football development, has had stints in England and other European countries.
