Ghana Football Association has confirmed that the three-man committee that was tasked to search for a new coach for the senior national team after the dismissal of Charles Kwablah Akonnor has submitted their findings on Friday, September 17.
The committee made up of Ghana FA vice president and executive committee members Dr Randy Abbey and Zida concluded their search on Thursday evening and subsequently submitted their findings on Friday.
“The Three-Member Search Committee which was appointed by the Executive Council to make recommendations for a new coach of the Black Stars has on Thursday, September 16, 2021 submitted their report to the Ghana Football Association,” a Ghana FA statement read.
“The Committee made up of Vice President Mark Addo, Dr. Ransford Abbey and Alhaji Salifu Zida Shaibu was given three days to find a new coach and Assistant(s) for the Black Stars following the dismissal of Charles Akonnor on Monday.
“Following the submission of the report, the next steps will include finding internal alignment with relevant stakeholders and decision making by the Executive Council before signing of contract, official announcement and unveiling.
“Ghana currently have three (3) points after the two opening matches in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers. The Black Stars will take on Zimbabwe in a double header in October 2021,” the statement added.
AshesGyamera understands that since Ghana government will pay the new coach’s salaries and winning bonuses through GNPC, Ghana FA top officials must meet and convince Ghana president Nana Akufo Addo and his advisors before an official unveiling of the coach is made.
According to reports in the local media, Serbian Milovan Rajavec is leading the race to replace Akonnor.
