About 83 coaches have applied for the seven national team jobs up for grabs, JOY Sports can confirm. The Ghana Football Association have invited applications from coaches as a transparent means of appointing coaches for the various national team with the exception of the Black Stars. Ghana Premier League winning coach Orlando Wellington has also tendered in his application to retain the national Under-20 job. He believes he has learned lessons after failing to lead the Black Satellites to defend the African Youth Championships this year. Coach Wellington told JOY Sports, “Though I had my disappointment in the last tournament that I played in South Africa, but if you check my record and my contribution to Ghana Football at least I have also done well.” He added, “I was an assistant for so many years. I became a Head Coach at Heart of Lions and during that very year, I placed fourth on the league table. When I came to Berekum Chelsea, I was the winner of the league and I was awarded the best coach of the season and I believe I have more to offer as a coach. I know if I take one of the national team jobs once again, I can go places.” Former RTU coach Mumuni Gamel is reported to have submitted applications to take charge of five national teams namely the Black Queens, Black Princesses, Black Starlets, Black Meteors and the Black Satellites.
