Ghanaian football is bracing for a major shake-up as assistant coaches John Paintsil and Joseph Laumann find themselves on the verge of dismissal. Following the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the upcoming AFCON in Morocco, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is reportedly considering significant changes to its technical team.
The duo, who have been pivotal in Otto Addo’s coaching setup, are under scrutiny after the team’s underwhelming performances. Insiders suggest that discussions are already underway with potential replacements, including a Belgian and a Serbian coach, though their identities remain tightly guarded.
The GFA’s decision is believed to be part of a broader strategy to restore faith in the team ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, with matches against Chad and Madagascar looming in March. The missed AFCON qualification has sparked outrage among fans, many of whom are demanding Otto Addo’s removal as head coach.
While Addo’s position hangs in the balance, the immediate focus appears to be on Paintsil and Laumann, whose fate could be decided before the qualifiers. Should the GFA proceed with their dismissal, it would signal a dramatic overhaul in the Black Stars’ technical leadership, a move seen as critical for rebuilding confidence in the national team.
As fans anxiously await official announcements, the pressure is mounting on the GFA to make decisions that will reignite hope for the Black Stars’ future.
