The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has put out a call for applications for the vacant coaching position with the Black Stars, setting a deadline for submissions. Interested candidates have until February 2, 2024, at 11:59 PM to submit their applications for consideration.
Following the dismissal of Chris Hughton after the Black Stars’ early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the GFA Executive Committee has established a five-member panel to recommend a new coach within a three-week timeframe.
The Committee is not limiting its search to only those who apply and has been given the authority to actively seek out and consider suitable and competent coaches, even if they have not submitted formal applications.
Aspiring coaches who wish to take on the responsibility of leading the Black Stars are urged to submit their applications, complete with a curriculum vitae or resume, and a mission statement to the Search Committee via email at [email protected] before the specified deadline.
The Head Coach responsibilities include the overall management of the Senior Men’s National Team, tactical planning of training and games, and the performance of the Black Stars.
They should also be knowledgeable about the latest trends in football tactics and development, and have a football philosophy that aligns with or complements the GFA’s DNA.
The qualifications for the Head Coach position include a proven track record in coaching top men’s national teams or club football, holding the highest football license in the world with 15 years of football experience, and strong leadership skills.
This opportunity presents a chance for a proven winner in coaching to take on a leadership role within the GFA and make a significant impact on the future of Ghanaian football. Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications before the deadline.
