Kassim Mingle Ocansey, widely known in Ghanaian football circles as a seasoned and respected tactician, is on the verge of being officially named the new head coach of Swedru All Blacks United Football Club in the Ghana Premier League.
The Central Region-based club, which has faced challenges this season and sits in a precarious position in the league standings, is turning to Ocansey to provide the much-needed stability, tactical discipline, and experience required to turn their fortunes around.
Multiple reliable sources in Ghanaian sports media, including reports from January 26 and 27, 2026, indicate that negotiations are at an advanced stage, with the appointment described as imminent or “closing in.” The deal is expected to be confirmed shortly, potentially marking his official return to full-time club management.
Ocansey replaces Ahmed Ibrahim Fati, the previous head coach who reportedly departed the club due to personal reasons. The veteran Ghanaian coach brings an impressive resume to Swedru All Blacks.
He has previously led prominent Ghana Premier League sides such as Nations FC and Bechem United, where he demonstrated solid organizational skills and an ability to develop competitive teams.
More recently, he has been serving as the head coach of the Black Galaxies, Ghana’s national team for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), showcasing his capabilities at the international level with player call-ups and preparations for qualifiers.
Despite his ongoing national team commitments, the club has shown strong interest in securing his services, viewing his expertise as a key factor in helping All Blacks climb away from the relegation zone and build a more structured playing identity.
This appointment could prove pivotal for the club’s survival and progress in what remains a highly competitive Ghana Premier League season.
