  "summary": "Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director Ibrahim Sannie Daara has called on the football authorities to prioritize long-term development when searching for a new Black Stars head coach. Currently without a permanent successor to Carlos Queiroz, who left after a poor start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign, Ghana is bottom of Group C without a point after two matches. Sannie Daara believes the new coach should focus on building a strong foundation for the future. Additionally, he urged the GFA and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to consider the financial implications of their next appointment. In the meantime, an interim technical team, led by Kim Lars Björkegren, has been appointed to oversee Ghana’s upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Somalia.",
