Frimpong Manso
Nations FC head coach Frimpong Manso has set his sights on silverware, insisting his ambition remains unchanged despite the challenges facing the club this season.
Manso took over from Kasim Mingle midway through the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign after a difficult start to the season for the Abrankese-based outfit.
After 20 matches, Nations FC sit 12th on the league table with 24 points. They are also through to the next round of the FA Cup, where they will face Swedru All Blacks.
Explaining his decision to accept the role, Manso revealed that the opportunity came at the right time.
At the time Nations approached me, I was free and didnt want to stay out of football for too long. Knowing the club, I thought, Okay, let me consider this job and see how it goes, especially since its based in Kumasi, and I am also in Kumasi, Manso told Akoma FM.
The former Black Stars assistant coach admitted the current campaign has presented several difficulties, particularly in terms of squad balance and preparation.
Nations has always had good players, but I think their main problem last season was their pre-season. Most of the players currently in the squad did not do pre-season with the team. Some younger players are coming in, while some older ones are leaving, so it has been a bit challenging: it feels like we are building a new team, he noted.
Despite the hurdles, Manso remains focused on success, underlining his desire to deliver tangible results.
One of my personal goals here is to win a trophy whether this season or next. That is something I am very determined to achieve while at Nations FC, Manso concluded.
Nations FC will now turn their attention to their Ghana Premier League fixture against Medeama SC at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex this weekend.
