The Ghana Football Association has been swamped with several CV’s of coaches interested in taking over the reign of the senior national team, the Black Stars, communications director of the FA Henry Asante Twum has disclosed.
The Black Stars team is currently without a substantive trainer following the resignation of Otto Addo.
The Germany-based trainer resigned as Black Stars coach after suffering early elimination at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
After beating South Korea, Ghana needed a win or draw against Uruguay to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
But the team failed to negotiate for points against their South American ‘enemies’ in the final group game.
In an interview with Asempa FM monitored by Footballghana.com, Henry Asante Twum disclosed the FA has received over sixty applications for the vacant Black Stars job.
“Maybe over 60 applications. The Black Stars is very attractive. You cannot have Mohammed Kudus in your team and think the Black Stars is not attractive. It is an attractive brand, no doubt about that” he said.
Meanwhile, he has disclosed a new Black Stars coach will be appointed by close of January 2023.
“I think it will be this month. From the conversations going on it is very likely a new head coach of the Black Stars will be appointed this month”
“There will be an ExCo meeting soon and everything will be finalized there” he said.
