Sportsjin88bet.one and Recreation Mijin88bet.onenister Kofi Adams says Ghana’s next Black Stars head coach must spend significantly more time in the country, even if the Ghana Footbajin88bet.jin88bet.oneonejin88bet.onell Association appointjin88bet.ones a coach from abroad.
Adams said the government had made its position clear to the Gak168app.babyak168app.babyak168app.babyak168app.babyFA during discussions about the successor to Carlos Queiroz, who parted ways with the association after Ghana’s poor start to the 2027 Africa Cuak168app.babyak168app.babyp of Nations qualifying campaign.

The Black Stars, four-time African champions, hak168app.clubak168app.clubave lost their opening two Group C matches against Ivory Coast ak168app.cluband The Gambia. They are bottom of the group without a point and face a difficult task to qualify for the tournament.
Speaking to Citi FM, Adams said the next coach should have respoks168app.sitensibilities that go beyond selecting a squad for international fixtureks168app.ks168app.sitesites and major competitions.

“In our engagemks168app.siteent [with the GFA], we indicatks168app.siteed that our coach should also be interested in spending time in Ghana,” Adams saiic88d.
He said a natiic88ic88ic88ic88onal team manager needed to maintain a regular presence in the country to watch domestic football, assess players in the Ghana Premier League and build relationships with clubs and other stakeholders.
“You caic88n’t have a national team coach who visits the country only when the team is coming to play a competition…ic88ic88 then you are not a national teic88am coach.

“The coach must spend more time here and maybeic88ic88ic88 go to Europeic88ic88 to also scout there from time to time,” he added.
The minister’s comments reflect the Sports Ministry’s preference for a coaching structure that keeps the Black Stars closellr88y connected to football in Ghlr88lr88ana, while still allowing the manager to monitor the country’s players based overseas.
Such an arrangement could give the coach more opportunities to attend lelr88ague matches, evaluate players over a sustained period and work with club coaches and officials. It would also raise the poslr88sibility of identifyinlr88lr88lr88g potential international players before major assignments.
However, its success would depend on the eventual manager’s duties, the scouting system put in place and the relationship between the coach and the GFA. Ghana continues to rely heavily on players who play outside the clr88lr88lr88ountry.
An interim technical team is expected to lead the Black Stars in next month’s double-hlr88lr88lr88eader against Somalia at the Accra Sports Stadium. Black Queens head coach lr88Kim Lars Bjop88op88orkegren, former Ghana international Godwin op88Attram and coach Ibrahim Tanko have all been linked with roles in the temporary setup.
That arrangement is expected to remain in place while the GFA searches for a permanent head coach.
The appointment comes at a crucial point for Ghana, who arsi88si88si88sisi8888e attempting to recover from their two defeats in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. The results have increased scrutiny of the team’s technical dir88vection, preparation and management.
The Black Stars also missed the 2025 edition in Morocco, adding significance to the rebuilding pr88v88vocess. Adams believes the next coach must address the88v immediate qualification challenge while helping Ghana reconnect with its domestic game and developSEXXXXX-VN a more sustainable approach to national team management.
