Ghana Football Association is set to name a new head coach for the Black Stars of Ghana after the selected five-member committee that was set to find a new coach for the Black Stars of Ghana submitted their report and recommendations after three weeks to the Executive Committee of the GFA.
The Ghana Football Association dissolved the technical team of the Ghana National Team headed by former Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton after a bad performance at the 2024 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The Black Stars of Ghana were shamefully eliminated from the competition in the group stage after accumulating just two points in three games. Ghana was paired in Group B alongside side the Pharaohs of Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique but surprisingly failed to qualify.
Numerous coaches applied for the Vacant and notable ones were former Asante Kotoko Sporting Club head coach Michael Osei, George Boateng, and many other top coaches.
The five-man search Committee were Vice President Mark Addo, Banker Kojo Addae Mensah, Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association, Ghana Football legend Opoku Nti and William Kartey, Chief Director of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
After the reports and recommendations, German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund trainer Scout Otto Addo is selected and will be appointed after a successful negotiation between the FA and the Coach.
Otto Addo qualified the Black Stars of Ghana for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar after eliminating the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the last round of qualifiers. Also at the FIFA World Cup, he guided the Black Stars of Ghana to finish third in their group with three points.
Otto Addo has been given a long-term contract which will be announced before the close of this week. After his announcement, Otto Addo will name his squad for Ghana for Ghana friendlies against the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Cranes of Uganda.
