Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has announced that the next coach of the Black Stars has been identified and is currently working, according to recent reports. Carlos Queiroz resigned as head coach following Ghana's participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leaving a vacancy in the position. In an interview with 3Sports, Okraku confirmed that the GFA has made significant progress in securing a replacement for Queiroz, with the new coach being "99% in place" and negotiations nearing completion.
The prospective coach has already begun working, with only the final signing of paperwork required to formalize the appointment.

The GFA is expected to officially announce the new coach once the remaining contractual details have been resolved.
