The Ghana Football Association has announced the roadmap to hire the next Black Stars coach and named a five-member search committee to evaluate and recommend a candidate to the Executive Council for approval.
This is after Chris Hughton was relieved of his duties as coach of the Black Stars on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
