The search for a new coach for the Ghana national team has garnered significant attention, with more than 600 applications received from coaches worldwide.
Following the dismissal of Chris Hughton due to the team's underwhelming performance at the AFCON 2023, where they failed to secure a single victory in the group stage, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) formed a committee to oversee the selection process.
Led by Vice President Mark Addo, the committee aims to appoint a coach who embodies Ghana's football ethos, possesses a winning mentality, and aligns with the team's philosophy.
Notable applicants include former Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath, ex-West Ham coach Nikola Jurcevic, and former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu, among others. Michael Osei, former coach of Bibiani Goldstars, is also among the applicants.
The GFA set a deadline for applications, which has now passed, and the selection process is underway. Candidates must have a minimum of 15 years of coaching experience, along with strong disciplinary and tactical skills.
Coaches from various continents, including Europe, South America, North America, and Africa, as well as local Ghanaian coaches, are vying for the prestigious role.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the GFA's decision, expected to be announced later this month, as they hope for a new coach capable of leading the Black Stars to success on the international stage.
