Former England and Jamaica coach Steve McClaren has emerged as the latest manager to hold talks over the vacant Black Stars job, as the Ghana Football Association intensifies its search for a new head coach ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Reports indicate McClaren has expressed interest and engaged in discussions with the GFA, joining a growing list of high-profile candidates being considered following the dismissal of Otto Addo.
Among the leading names is former West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic, who is understood to have held talks and remains a strong contender for the role.
Also in the frame are experienced international managers Carlos Queiroz and Fernando Santos, while Herve Renard is reportedly being considered as a long-term option beyond the World Cup.
Other names linked to the job include Tom Saintfiet, as the federation explores multiple options in a bid to find the right fit for the tournament.
With time running out, the GFA is said to be leaning towards a short-term appointment, with the new coach expected to have limited time to prepare the team.
Ghana face a tough World Cup group against Panama, Croatia and England, increasing the urgency to appoint a coach capable of delivering immediate impact.
