George Boateng has announced his departure from Aston Villa and will now devote his full attention to his role as Black Stars assistant coach.
On Thursday, Boateng announced his resignation as Aston Villa U-23 coach.
After coaching the U-18 team for a year, the former Netherlands international was appointed as Aston Villa’s U-23 coach in 2020.
“Leaving Aston Villa after 3 wonderful seasons was not an easy decision but having the opportunity to coach my country at the World Cup was too good to turn down,” Boateng wrote on Instagram.
“I have learned so much and I’m grateful for the time spent at this beautiful, amazing club. I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their wonderful support and I wish the club every success in the future.”
“As for now, I will concentrate on my role as the Assistant Coach of Ghana ahead of the World Cup.”
