Former Sports Minister and Sports Journalist Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye has asked the Ghana Football Association to scout around Africa for a good trainer for the Black Stars with exactly two months to the 2026 FIFA World Cup kickoff.
The four-time Africa Champions after sacking Coach Otto Addo are in search for his replacement, who will lead the side to the upcoming 23rd edition of the global showpiece.
Despite, Otto Addo occupying the national team job for over two years failed to secure a footprint though a World Cup slot was earned for Ghana. His sack came as back-to-back defeats against Austria and Germany was not taken lightly by the Football Association on Monday night.
With the authority, considering to appoint his successor Nii Lante has opined that their scoop considers Africa.
Insisting managers like Otto Addo, C.K Akonnor, Ibrahim Tanko, Godwin Attram and Laryea Kingston amongst other Ghanaian gaffers are still young and upcoming not ready for the Black Stars job.
“We won trophies in the past with Ghanaian coaches but they were good coaches. Otto Addo, Ibrahim Tanko, CK Akornor, Godwin Attram, Laryea Kingston and others are all coming up.
They have not gotten to where we can entrust the Black Stars into their hands.They should go and start at the club level to build their resume and capacity. I agree with Rev. Osei Kofi to an extent but inasmuch as I say we don’t need European coaches I think we need an African coach,” he told Citi Sports.
Ghana will be making their fifth appearance at the Mundial, hoping to impress and secure at least a qualification from the group phase.
They have being drawn against England, Croatia and Panama in Group L, with the Black Stars scheduled to face Panama in their opening fixture on June 17.
