Liberty Professionals appoint David Ocloo as head coach

Dansoman-based Liberty Professionals have named David Ocloo as the club’s new head coach ahead of the kickoff of the Ghana Premier League season later this month.

He replaces David Reginald Asante, who has taken a sabbatical leave in pursuit of a coaching course abroad.

Coach Asante led the team to an impressive turn out during the Normalization Committee Special Competition where the club missed the finals by a whisker.

He also saw to the emergence of several players including Elvis Kyei Baffour who is expected to be one of the break out stars of the coming season.

Speaking on the appointment, club CEO Linda Ansong explained why the club had settled on Ocloo.

“We liked David’s enthusiasm and fresh outlook on how to play football. He is ambitious and wants to grow with us.

“We also like that he has a clear picture of what we want to build going forward .

“We have one of the youngest teams in the Premier League and we feel he will provide these boys the best chance in maximizing their potential,” she said.

David Ocloo has previously worked with Wa All Stars and Maranatha FC of Togo. He also enjoyed a playing career in Asia for several years.

David Ocloo will be officially unveiled at a press briefing later.
