Overview
- The Ghana Football Association published a public job notice on its official site inviting head-coach applications by email and said a five-member expert commission would pick the successor.
- The FA named a panel that reportedly included Anthony Baffoe and former captain Stephen Appiah, but Ghanaian media say Baffoe has declined to serve after not being adequately consulted.
- Carlos Queiroz and the FA agreed to part ways after consecutive qualifying defeats, including a 0-2 loss to Ivory Coast and a 2-4 home defeat to Gambia that left Ghana with zero points in its group.
- The Black Stars now face immediate sporting pressure, needing wins in all remaining group matches to keep any realistic chance of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
- The public recruitment and reported discord over the selection panel have intensified criticism of the FA’s governance and raised national concern about the team’s direction and reputation.
