Former France international Willy Sagnol will face the six-member panel tasked to search for a new coach for the Black Stars on Friday.

Sagnol made the shortlist of coaches to avail themselves to be interviewed by the Ghana Football Association.

The 40-year old, who played as a right back in his days,  is expected to arrive in the country on Thursday night ahead of the interview on Friday.

Sagnol is currently unattached, having coached Ligue One side, Bordeaux from 2014-2016.

Sagnol was part of the French team that won silver at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and was also a team mate of Samuel Kuffour as their Bayern Munich team won the UEFA Champions League in 2001.
