The FA is on a hunt for a new coach ahead of March's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Despite interests from several coaches for the job, the Communications Director of the Association, Henry Asnate-Twum has disclosed his outfit is yet to receive an application from an indigenous coach.

“I can say over 60 coaches have applied for the Black Stars coaching job and those coaches are European and South American coaches,” he told Asempa FM as quoted by Pulse.

“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.”

Meanwhile, the FA is expected to announce a new coach for the national team this month.
