Former Brong Ahafo FA Chairman Ralph Gyambrah has criticised the decision-making process behind coaching appointments for the Black Stars, following the departure of Otto Addo.
‎
‎Addo was dismissed after Ghana’s back-to-back defeats to Austria and Germany during the March international window, bringing an end to his second spell in charge.
‎
‎His reappointment had initially been viewed as a move by the Ghana Football Association to restore stability, but inconsistent results ultimately undermined that objective.
‎
‎Gyambrah says the recurring changes in leadership point to deeper structural issues, noting that Ghana have appointed four different head coaches in the past six years.
‎
“When decisions are being taken to hire a coach for the Black Stars, the decision must be thought through so that you minimise chances of failure, but we did not do it that way,” he told Connect FM.
‎
‎His comments come as the GFA intensifies its search for a new head coach, with president Kurt Okraku indicating that an appointment could be made within the next two weeks.
‎
‎The debate over the direction of the national team has grown in recent weeks, particularly as Ghana prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
‎
‎Drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama, the Black Stars face a demanding campaign, with expectations high despite a turbulent build-up.
‎
‎For many observers, including Gyambrah, the next appointment will be critical, not just for the World Cup, but for restoring long-term stability and confidence in Ghanaian football.
