New Black Stars coach to be named in October

New CoachGhana new coach will be named later next month, a member of the three-man search committee Fred Pappoe has said.

The Football Association opened up application for the vacant Black Stars job after parting company with Kwesi Appiah on mutual consent.

Reports in the local media claimed, a substantive coach would be named on Friday to handle next month’s 2015 AFCON qualifiers against Guinea.

But Pappoe, who serves as member of the Ghana Football Association Executive Committee, says Ghanaians would have wait a little longer.

“We have received about 28 or 29 applicant and we should trim it down to about 11 by the close of the week,” Pappoe said.

“I have said this we are not in a hurry to appoint a new coach we should appoint a stop gap coach to take care of the game against Guinea and take our time in naming a good coach to come in after that.

“We are looking at somewhere in October.”
