The Ghana FA veep has assured Ghanaians that the Committee constituted to search for a new Black Stars head coach will hire a competent person for the job.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has received over 500 applications for the vacant Black Stars coaching job, according to GFA Vice President Mark Addo.
The position became vacant after the GFA sacked Irish-Ghanaian former Premier League manager Chris Hughton following Ghana’s early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Addo, who is leading the search for a new coach as chair of the five-member committee formed by the GFA, expressed confidence in the process, citing the large number of applicants as evidence of the association’s commitment to finding the right person for the job.
“This is my second time leading a committee to pick a coach, and I can tell Ghanaians that we will hire the Best coach for the Black Stars according on the criteria,” Mark Addo said as quoted by Akoma FM.
He further dated that: “We received over 500 applications for the job and have shortlisted a handful. We are currently going through them and want to finish by next week.
“Nobody wants outcomes more than we (the FA), believe me; it just so happens that things don’t always go as planned for various reasons, but we must keep moving forward. He concluded.
