Liberty head coach Sellas Tetteh has been voted African Coach of the Year by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) at the annual GLO-CAF awards n Accra last night. The World Cup winning coach beat off competition from from TP Mazembe coach Diego Garzitto and Nigeria's Under-17 coach John Obuh.

The New Rwanda boss managed to take Ghana's U-20 team the Black Satellites to win the African Youth Championship in the country where he has become coach and also become the first African Coach to win the World Youth Championships in Egypt.

Sellas had earlier led the team to win the West African Football Union (WAFU) Cup and spent time working with thesenior national team the Black Stars during the World Cup qualifiers.

On the evidence of his achievements he was more than a deserved winner on the night and a perfect farewell as he begins to challenge again for honours this time as coach of Rwanda.

Sellas Tetteh by his feat has followed in the footsteps of his boss at Liberty Profesionals, Sir Cecil Jones Attuquayefio who won the award in 2000 having led Accra Hearts of Oak to win the domestic treble, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Super Cup.

Sellas Tetteh popularly called "Borboor" in his home country has been the longest serving local coach. He has coached Liberty Professionals for over a decade.
