The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will convene an emergency meeting of its Executive Council on Friday to finalise the appointment of a new head coach for the Black Stars, GHANAsoccernet.com has confirmed.
The meeting comes after the completion of interviews with shortlisted candidates earlier this week, marking a decisive phase in the search for a permanent replacement for Otto Addo.
All Executive Council members are expected to attend, underscoring the high stakes as Ghana looks to secure new leadership ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to sources, the agenda will focus on evaluating the final list of candidates, reviewing their presentations, and assessing their suitability for the role. Key considerations include coaching experience, tactical philosophy, the ability to manage top-level players, and familiarity with African football.
The GFA is under mounting pressure to reach a swift decision, with limited preparation time before Ghana’s next international fixtures. The urgency has been heightened by a string of poor results that ultimately led to Addo’s dismissal.
Discussions are expected to be intense, with differing opinions among EXCO members over who is best suited to revive the team’s fortunes. Friday’s meeting could produce a final decision or significantly narrow the field, paving the way for an official announcement in the coming days.
Ghanaian fans, eager for stability and a renewed direction, will be watching closely as the Black Stars seek to rebound under new leadership.
