The Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has assured the public that Ghana will soon have a new head coach before the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers. The position became vacant after Carlos Queiroz's contract expired following Ghana's Round of 32 exit at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The GFA was unable to reach a contract extension agreement with the Portuguese coach, leading to his departure.
Ghana's football governing body will convene for the 2027 AFCON qualifiers in September. Kurt Okraku expressed confidence in the appointment process, stating that the new coach is "99% in place" and already engaged in the role. The Black Stars have been placed in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, The Gambia, and Somalia for the upcoming qualifiers.
