The Ministry of Sports and Recreation and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have agreed to establish a five-member Technical Search Committee to lead the process of finding a new head coach for the Black Stars.
The decision was reached during a meeting between Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams and officials of the GFA on Friday, October 2, 2026.
The committee will assess potential candidates and submit its recommendations to both the Ministry and the GFA by Friday, October 9.
The names of the five members have not yet been made public.
The move follows the departure of Carlos Queiroz, whose contract with the GFA was mutually terminated on Thursday, October 1, after Ghana endured a difficult start to its 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
The Black Stars have suffered defeats in their opening two Group C matches, losing 2-0 to Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké before surrendering a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 to The Gambia in Accra.
The results have left Ghana without a point from its first two matches and placed pressure on the authorities to appoint a coach capable of turning the campaign around.
The new technical head will inherit a team preparing for a crucial double-header against Somalia in November.
