Bashir Hayford set to be named Somalia coach

Former Black Queens coach Bashiru Hayford is in Mogadishu negotiating to become the national team coach of Somalia.

The experienced trainer travelled to Somalia on Sunday and has been locked in discussions with the country's football federation.

The two-Ghana Premier League winner will also be named technical director of the Somalia Football Association.

Hayford has rich experience having handled several national team youth teams and also top-flight sides like Power FC, Heart of Lions, Asante Kotoko, AshantiGold and Ebusua Dwarfs.

Recently, he was severely criticized for failing to qualify hosts Ghana to the semi-final of the 2018 Africa Women's Championship.
