| Blackstars 5-1 defeat to Austria in friendly match |
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has taken a decisive step in its search for a new Black Stars head coach, successfully concluding interviews with shortlisted candidates for the vacant role.
The exercise, held on Monday, is a key part of the FA’s efforts to find a suitable replacement for Otto Addo, who was dismissed just over a week ago following a run of disappointing results in international friendlies.
Sources close to the process reveal that the interviews featured a blend of local and foreign tacticians, all carefully assessed beyond just their technical knowledge. The Ghana Football Association is placing strong emphasis on leadership, long-term vision, and the ability to manage the immense pressure that comes with leading the senior national team.
Each candidate reportedly presented a clear tactical identity, along with plans to rebuild the squad and deliver both immediate improvements and sustained success. The FA’s priority is to appoint a coach who can quickly restore structure, discipline, and consistency within the team.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup fast approaching, the stakes are high. The shortlist is believed to include several high-profile names, highlighting the FA’s determination to bring in a coach capable of reviving confidence in the Black Stars setup.
The process now moves into the final stage, where internal discussions and stakeholder consultations will determine the best candidate for the job. An official announcement is expected soon as Ghana edges closer to ushering in a new era for the national team.
