The Ghana Football Association (GFA) plans to name a new Black Stars head coach within one to two weeks, President Kurt Okraku announced, following Otto Addo’s dismissal.
Speaking to 3Sports, Okraku stressed the rush to replace Addo as Ghana ramps up 2026 World Cup preparations.
Addo was axed after poor results, including losses to Austria and Germany, decided in a late-night Stuttgart meeting. The GFA now eyes local and foreign candidates, with names surfacing amid the search for stability before crucial matches.

“We will have a new coach in a week or two,” Okraku declared, highlighting the tight timeline.
Ghana faces Mexico and Wales in May, giving the incoming coach little time to evaluate the squad and instill tactics. A drawn group with Panama, Croatia, and England adds pressure for a swift, smart pick.
This appointment looms large for the Black Stars’ World Cup dreams, demanding leadership to turn recent setbacks into success.
