Ghanaian coach Faisal Abdul Chibsah has been appointed the Head of Recruitment for the Academy of Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC.

The big appointment was announced in the late hours of Friday following his incredible coaching prowess with young talents in the United States of America.

Announcing the new portfolio for Chibsah, Charlotte FC described the young man – Abdul Chibsah – is the Academy Head of Recruitment for the club.

Abdul Chibsah joins Charlotte FC as its new Academy Head of Recruitment, bringing exceptional experience in talent identification, data analysis and team administration—from grassroots to professional level.

“We are privileged to have Chibsah oversee all recruitment and scouting for the Academy,” says Lock.

“The USSF-licensed coach joins us after similar roles with the University of Delaware and Philadelphia Union.”

Chibsah replaces Alex Martinez, who will be moving into a full-time Academy Coaching role.

The former Charlotte Independence midfielder will now work with all Academy teams as Academy Coach, as well as leading the U12 Discovery Program squad.

“I’d like to thank Marc Nicholls and the leadership group for the opportunity to serve at Charlotte FC,” says Chibsah.

“I look forward to contributing to the development of the game, in and beyond the Carolinas, and assisting our young talents reach their sporting and academic dreams,” he added.

Before his new appointment, Chibsah was the Academy Head of Recruitment for University of Delaware and Philadelphia Union.

He was one of the key contenders for the Technical Director role of the Ghana Football Association about a year ago.
