At the Public Accounts Committee hearing last week, the sector minister made reference to this.
He claims that the Ghana FA has informed him thoroughly about the steps involved in selecting a new coach for the Black Stars.
In order to fill the position of Black Stars head coach before the team's upcoming assignment in March in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the Ghana FA has received a number of applications.
Henry Asante Twum, the GFA Communications Director, claims that his organization has already received over 1000 applications.
"To get the job, more than 1000 coaches have applied. Every day, more applications are coming in "Henry Asante Twum revealed on GHOne TV's State of Affairs.
"The position is open to all. when you are an accomplished coach. We haven't created any shortlists, but we will when the time is right. It is imperative to select a skilled coach. We are only focusing on a capable coach and not on race or color "he continued.
The only local candidate for the position is coach Kwasi Appiah.
To ensure that a qualified coach is appointed for the long term, the Sports Ministry is awaiting the Ghana FA's report.
According to our sources, the new coach will likely be given a two-year performance contract.
The qualifying matches for the Africa Cup of Nations will be Ghana's next task in March.
