Ghana will name new coach by Monday – Sports Minister Kofi Adams

Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams says Ghana will appoint a new head coach within days, with the process now at its final stage.

Adams confirmed that discussions with shortlisted candidates are almost complete, with only a few engagements left before a final decision is taken.

“Hopefully, if by this weekend we don’t announce the coach, latest by Monday[April 13, 2026], we should be able to announce our new coach. We’ve come very far. They still have just a few more to talk to,” he said on Channel One TV.

“Between Friday and Monday, we should be able to let you know.”

The search for a new coach follows the departure of Otto Addo, leaving the Black Stars without technical leadership at a crucial time.

Several experienced names, including Carlos Queiroz, Paulo Bento and Fernando Santos, have been linked with the role.

Adams remains confident the appointment will be made within the stated timeline, with authorities keen to give the new coach enough time to prepare the team for the World Cup.

Ghana have been drawn in a tough group to face Panama, Croatia and England in North America.
