Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has confirmed that Ghana will secure a new head coach before the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers. This follows the expiration of Carlos Queiroz's contract, who guided the national team to a Round of 32 exit at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The GFA had been unable to reach a contract extension agreement with the Portuguese coach.
Kurt Okraku stated to 3Sports that "Ghana will have a coach before we regroup" and that "the coach who will lead the Black Stars is 99% in place." The Black Stars will be in Group C for the qualifiers alongside Ivory Coast, Gambia, and Somalia.
