Most often, Ghana is described as a football nation due to the number of talents that have emerged from the country of the years.

Four coaches who deserve to coach the Black Stars

In truth, the Black Stars are also giants on the continent and that is due to some amazing indigenous coaches that have come through in the past.

However, in recent years, the quality of coaches from Ghana has diminished with very few managing at the top level.

Black Stars manager Kwesi Appiah has been at the helm for two years now, but his failure at the AFCON has raised questions about his competence.

1. CK Akonnor

Charles Kwablan Akonnor is one of the highly rated coaches in Ghana at the moment. The 45-year-old has had a great impact on the local scene and can only get better.

CK Akonnor has managed some of the biggest clubs in the country, including Asante Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Ashanti Gold.

His successes at the aforementioned clubs, especially at Kotoko and Ashanti Gold, proves he is now ready for the Black Stars job.

2. Sellas Tetteh

Veteran coach Sellas Tetteh is perhaps the most experienced Ghanaian coach at the moment. Having made his name as a youth coach, he has rarely been given the opportunity at the senior national team.

Tetteh was the man who led Ghana’s U-20 side to World Cup glory, becoming the first African team to chalk such a victory.

The 62-year-old is currently the coach of Sierra Leone, but there’s no doubt that he is very qualified for the Black Stars bench.

3. Ibrahim Tanko

Assistant coach of the Black Stars Ibrahim Tanko is also very capable of replacing his boss Kwesi Appiah at the helm.

The former Borussia Dortmund forward has garnered a lot of coaching experience since hanging in boots in 2007.

Tanko once served as an assistant coach for the Cameroon national team and is currently in charge of Ghana’s U-23 side.

4. Samuel Boadu

Coach of Medeama SC Samuel Boadu is another name who had made his presence felt on the local scene in recent times.

Boadu is very young but has so far proven that he is one of the most matured tactical minds in Ghana at the moment.

He led Medeama to the top of the Ghana Premier League, before the league was truncated following a corruption scandal involving then GFA president Kwesi Nyantayi. Also, he sides usually play attractive football and that is what the Black Stars need at the moment.
