Black Stars B coach Maxwell Konadu was named coach of the tournament at the just ended WAFU Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
The former Black Stars A coach beat Senegal gaffer Seringne Saliou Dia to the coveted award.<\/p>\n
Konadu led his team to the finals of the competition where they lost to hosts Senegal 3-1 on penalties.<\/p>\n
Trailing 1-0 in extra time, Joseph Esso leveled to push the game to penalties where Ghana missed three spot kicks to relinquish the title to Senegal.<\/p>\n
The former Asante Kotoko and Ghana player saw his side beat Gambia, Burkina Faso and brush aside Ivory Coast to reach the finals.<\/p>\n
In those four games at the tournament, the Black Stars B were composed and produced some of the best football at the tournament.<\/p>\n
