The Ghana Football Association has announced the roadmap to hire the next Black Stars coach and named a five-member search committee to evaluate and recommend a candidate to the Executive Council for approval.
This is after Chris Hughton was relieved of his duties as coach of the Black Stars on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.

The search committee has three weeks to recommend the next Black Stars coach to the Executive Council for approval.
