“From what I know, no Ghanaian coach has applied for the job. The Black Stars is very attractive. You cannot have Mohammed Kudus in your team and think the Black Stars is not attractive. It is an attractive brand, no doubt about that.
“I think it will be this month. From the conversations going on it is very likely a new head coach of the Black Stars will be appointed this month.”
