As expected, the Ghana Football Association has parted ways with technical advisor Winfried Schafer.
Schafer, 76, was appointed in 2025 to help the technical staff of Ghana’s senior national team improve, but after many games, nothing showed that Schafer’s leadership met the expectations of the politburos of the Black Stars.
The veteran German head coach who led Cameroon to the 2002 AFCON title in Mali and also led the Indomitable Lions to the Japan/Korea World Cup was heavily linked to the vacant head coach role after Otto Addo was sacked.
A high-profile technical director in the calibre of Winfried Schafer is not expected to be appointed for the World Cup, as the focus is on appointing an experienced manager.
Ghana is still searching for a coach for the World Cup, with Croatian tactician Slaven Bilic now in the conversation.
Portuguese head coaches Fernando Santos, Carlos Queiroz, and Paolo Bento have all been mentioned for the job.
