Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member Gideon Fosu has confirmed that the Football Association is in talks to appoint the next head coach of the Black Stars.
The senior national team is currently without a permanent coach after Carlos Queiroz’s short-term contract expired.
The Portuguese coach signed a four-month deal in April ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He replaced Otto Addo, who was dismissed in March.
Talks over extending Queiroz’s contract have reportedly broken down due to his high salary demands.
Speaking to Citi Sports, Fosu confirmed that negotiations are ongoing but assured Ghanaians that the Black Stars will have a coach before their next competitive matches.
“I think what’s there for Ghanaians to know is that we’ll definitely play Senegal and we have to play the qualifiers, right? What I can say on authority is that we are definitely going to have a coach who is in charge of the team,” he said.
“We are still talking, we are still negotiating. I am sure that at the right time, the president of the FA will announce who the next coach of the Black Stars will be,” Fosu added.
Queiroz reportedly earned $80,000 per month as Black Stars coach.
Ghana are expected to return to competitive action in September when they begin their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group C alongside West African rivals Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia and Somalia.
Ghana missed the previous edition of the tournament in Morocco and will be hoping to secure qualification for the 2027 competition.
