Bibiani GoldStars head coach, Frimpong Manso, has emotionally dedicated his team’s historic Ghana Premier League title triumph to the late Michael Osei, a former coach and influential figure in the club’s journey to the top flight.
GoldStars clinched their maiden Premier League title in dramatic fashion, sealing the championship on the final day of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Aduana Stars. The victory sent waves of celebration through the mining town of Bibiani, marking a milestone moment for a club that has steadily grown in stature in recent years.
Speaking to the media after the title-winning match, an emotional Frimpong Manso paid tribute to the late Michael Osei, who passed away earlier in the year. Osei, a respected figure in Ghanaian football, had a significant impact on GoldStars during his tenure, helping to lay the foundation for the team’s eventual success.
“This title is for Michael Osei,” Manso said. “He was more than just a coach here—he was a mentor, a motivator, and a brother. He believed in this team when few did. His contributions to this club’s progress can never be forgotten.”
Osei led GoldStars into the Premier League in 2021 and was widely credited for transforming the team’s playing style and competitive mindset. His sudden passing in 2024 shocked the Ghanaian football community, with tributes pouring in from across the country.
Frimpong Manso, who took over from Osei, has continued to build on that legacy, steering the team to its most successful campaign yet. Under his guidance, GoldStars displayed resilience, tactical discipline, and attacking flair, winning key matches against seasoned league contenders like Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
The coach also praised his players and technical team for their commitment throughout the season. “It’s been a long and challenging journey, but this title is the result of hard work, unity, and belief,” he said.
As Bibiani celebrates its new status as champions of Ghana, the memory of Michael Osei remains etched in the hearts of players, fans, and management alike—his dream now realized by the team he helped shape.
