The communication from the GFA comes in the wake of Lawyer Ace Ankomah declining to serve as a member of the five-person committee responsible for selecting the new Black Stars head coach. Other committee members include Ghanaian football legend Opoku Nti, sports psychologist Professor Kwame Mintah, and GFA Vice President Mark Addo, who serves as the committee chairman.
The decision to find a new head coach follows the dismissal of Chris Hughton from the Black Stars coaching role. Hughton's tenure ended after overseeing a disappointing performance at the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire, resulting in Ghana's first-round exit from the tournament.
