Over sixty applications have been received so far per the reports from the GFA with a further indication that, majority of the applications received are from foreign coaches.

“I can say over 60 coaches have applied for the Black Stars coaching job and those coaches are European and South American coaches,” FA spokesperson, Henry Asante Twum told Asempa FM.

Kwesi Appiah confirmed his application earlier today in an interview today.

“It is true, I have applied for the job,” he told Sompa Sports. “When I heard the FA saying no Ghanaian has applied, I felt that being a Ghanaian, I had to apply to show we can prove ourselves, so I added mine to the foreign list.”

Ghana is set to appoint a new head coach after failing to progress to the round of 16 of the just ended World Cuo in Qatar.

The GFA is expected to name a new head coach to begin preparations for the African Cup of Nations.
