Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member, Wilfred Osei Kweku, has backed the appointment of Winfried Schafer to the Black Stars technical team.
Speaking to Sporty FM, Osei Kweku acknowledged the German coach’s experience and revealed that the idea of bringing him on board had been considered during his tenure at the GFA.
“The technical direction of the team has changed, but Winfried Schäfer is a good coach. Even during our time, we had plans to bring him on board,” he stated.
Schafer, a former Cameroon and Jamaica national team coach is expected to bring his vast knowledge and expertise to Ghana’s technical setup as the Black Stars aim to rebuild following their disappointing AFCON 2024 campaign.
With his wealth of experience in African football, many believe his appointment could play a crucial role in reshaping the team’s fortunes ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
His first assignment will be in March when Ghana face Chad and Madagascar in the World Cup qualifiers.
