Former Black Stars Management Committee member Kudjoe Fianoo has called on the Ghana Football Association to act swiftly by appointing technical director Winfried Schäfer as interim head coach of the national team.

The Ghana national football team are currently without a head coach following the dismissal of Otto Addo after a string of disappointing results, including a 2-1 defeat to Germany in an international friendly in Stuttgart.

Speaking in an interview with Kessben Sports, Fianoo emphasized the urgency of the situation, warning that time is not on Ghana’s side with the World Cup approaching. He believes Schäfer’s familiarity with Ghanaian football makes him the ideal short-term solution.

According to Fianoo, appointing Schäfer on an interim basis would give the GFA breathing space to carefully identify a long-term coach capable of leading the team through immediate and future challenges.

He also cautioned against the federation’s recent trend of frequent managerial changes, stressing the need for stability and a well-thought-out strategy moving forward.

With preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup underway, the GFA is expected to name a new head coach soon as pressure mounts to steady the ship and restore confidence in the team.
