Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars, are expected to appoint a new head coach by Monday, April 13, as the search for a replacement reaches its final stage.
Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams confirmed the timeline, with discussions intensifying ahead of the official announcement.
Among the high-profile names reportedly on the shortlist are Carlos Queiroz, a former manager of Manchester United and Real Madrid, and Fernando Santos, who guided Portugal to victory at UEFA Euro 2016.
Meanwhile, former GFA presidential aspirant Amanda Clinton has urged authorities to invest heavily if they hope to attract a top-tier coach.
Speaking in an interview, Clinton emphasized that Ghana must be willing to offer competitive salaries to secure elite managerial talent.
“We shouldn’t be cheap. We should just pay as much as we can,” she stated. “The Black Stars have a formidable name and history, but a good coach will always have other options, so we must be ready to pay more.”
She added that investing in a top coach would yield long-term benefits, including increased sponsorships and partnerships, given the importance of football in the country.
With the announcement imminent, attention now turns to who will take charge of the Black Stars and lead the team into its next chapter.
