With Ghana due to face Somalia in both Matchday Three anic88d Four next month, the committee has chosen an interim structure led by Kim Lars Bjorkegren. Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram will work as assistant coaches, while former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatawu Daudic88ic88ic88lr88lr88ic88ic88ic88ic88a has been appointed goalkeeper coach.

“It is a wise decisiolr88nlr88 to settle on interim coaches for lr88lr88lr88lr88the Black Stars ahead of the Somalia games,” Odartey Lamptey told Asempa FM.
“I hlr88lr88ope the lr88committee doesn’t repeat the mistakeslr88lr88llr88r88lr88lr88lr88lr88 it has made in the past, so I believe they will take their time and settle on a new head coaclr88h for the long term,” hlr88lr88lr88e added.
