Former Chelsea handler Thomas Tuchel is on Ghana’s list of candidates to take over as Black Stars boss, Asempa FM has reported.
Tuchel, who is rumoured to take over from Gareth Southgate if he decides to walk away from the England job leads a six-man shortlist for the Black Stars coaching job.
Tuchel is back in Germany after being sacked by Chelsea despite guiding the side to clinch the UEFA Champions League in 2021.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has held preliminary talks with Tuchel over the role which has become vacant following the departure of Otto Addo.
Ghana is desperate for a high profile coach to turn around their downward spiral after failing to progress from the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup – a similar disastrous outing at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet and South Korea coach Paulo Bento have also joined long-term contenders Chris Houghton and George Boateng among some of the other names being considered for the Ghana job.
Serbian coach Dragon Stojkovic has also been linked with the vacant job as the Ghana FA intensify the search for Otto Addo’s successor.
The GFA want to narrow down their search and make a decision as soon as possible with the process said to be entering an advanced stage.
Asempa FM reports that the G FA is monitoring the situation of Tom Saintfiet – who is still contracted to the Gambia national team.
Portuguese coach Paulo Bento is currently unemployed after he quit his job with South Korea following their 4-1 thrashing by Brazil in the 2022 World Cup Round 16 match.
Bento, 53, has been in charge of the national side since 2018, boasting a record of 35 wins, 13 draws and nine defeats from his 57 matches during his four-year reign.
He stepped down from his role with the Asian Tigers after their 4-1 defeat to Brazil in round 16 of this year’s World Cup.
Ghanaian coaches Chris Houghton and George Boateng are also in the reckoning to be considered following their various roles with the Black Stars at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Houghton served as technical advisor to the Black Stars while George Boateng was one of the assistants coaches under former coach Otto Addo.
The GFA is expected to announce Otto Addo’s successor as soon as possible with a number of international assignments lined up for the Black Stars next year.

That’s why I LOVE GHANA…
They really have that NERVE..
Very AMBITIOUS COUNTRY….
LOL…. U NO WELL
LMFAO.Yes na they have the GUTS.if na NIGERIA,they don’t mind HIRING one SECONDARY GAMES PREFECT for the SUPER EAGLES COACHING JOB as long as em agree make them open a different SALARY ACCOUNT for am to HELP dey keep em MONEY…
Bribery and corruption would not allow Nigeria go for a quality coach. Always looking for a coach they can have a cut with or the one with one win in ten matches. Wrong people in the NFF affairs.
Fake news can a country seeking help from IMF plus its sinking economy afford Tuchel??? I think there’s something wrong with today’s CS trying to create unnecessary something on this page. Even hear the name of the source “Asempa FM” and some people have already started comparison for crying out loud. If Nigeria has to do something it shouldn’t be because of rumours from a local radio station from another country. Whoever thinks Tuchel will coach Ghana for whatever reason needs help.
Former coach of Brighton Chris Houghton with Ghanaian Lineage and former assistant to outgoing Otto is the one on the running and is going to coach his country which is normal for any thinking man. Due to nonsense journalism always looking for traffic drive, we are fast becoming a country of Illusion and this will not help in our decision making if this senseless journalism doesn’t stop. CS should source for better news or better still be innovative on how to bring the best to Nigeria sports and stop a lot of nonsense on this page. I can’t remember the last time I read anything talking about sports development in Nigeria except Iraq and many rubbish headline. Even the recently completed NSF for talent discovery was not fully covered by CS. You can not tell me that there were no talents to at the NSF to showcase on this page for people to check out and follow their progress??? All you’re doing is looking for irrelevant circulating news from corners. People who are far away from the country doesn’t have anything to look forward to anymore. Note I don’t have issues with any nation but it’s doesn’t make sense when you promote fake nonsense, tomorrow Akuffo Addo will interview Joe Biden for a job in flag staff house and pay him in cedis.
Hey respect yourself ooo who gave you that audacity to insult our President that your fooolish President is just wasting national property but he is still your President nonsense
I have always said on this platform that Chima guy is a mad man. Kwasia, don’t bring our president in your nonsense. Is it because your country cannot hire a top class coach you think every country cannot? Ghana hired Avram Grant who coached a lot of A listed teams including Chelsea when your country was struggling to pay your coach. What is your problem if Ghana wants to hire Jose Mourinho? Chop your house matter and stop poking your nose in issues which doesn’t concern you. Ghana can be a bad team but compared to Nigeria, you are in a deep pit. Chan is coming and you are not going to be there. Who eliminated you? If you know your football, you will always respect Ghana. We are the only nation in west africa able to place you where you belong. If you are not happy with csn let your papa set up a website for you. Kwasiato!
I don’t have to insult the Akufo Addo already the insults you and your people is hauling on him is already enough, if anyone doubts me let them visit Ghanaweb and scroll to comment session you’ll weep for the midget. Midget is not an insult but a way to describe someone who dead stunted growth lol I’m just kidding. But honestly speaking me and you know that Ghana can not hire Tuchel, Avant Grant was a coach that doesn’t value himself no wonder he didn’t handle any serious team after getting sacked by Chelsea.
@selfmade…lol. You made my night
Wonders will never end. A Ghanaian speaking Igbo nothing wey we no go hear. How much is Ghana’s yearly Revenue? If it’s exceeds Lagos Revenue I will apologise then we will go to national comparison. When someone is speaking the truth you people will start getting emotional for a president that you people insult day and night because of your hardship and economic woes. Or am I wrong so I can bring copy and paste of Ghanaweb comments???
Google translate is really making you excited. LMAO you think those childish insults does anything to humanity??? Your insult will not add anything to your National Income. Rather you stand to loose more.
Tuchel and the other top coaches profiled for the Ghanaian job are not hunted like games in the bush. These are professional individuals who willingly applied for the job in ur so call broke country and are being shortlisted. Look for the fact that a country is with IMF for a policy in your least thinking means the country can’t pay it worker? Your thinking is too shallow. People are speaking their view stop attacking them. Ghana the true gateway to West Africa will procure one of the best coaches among the profiled list and u will be drooling.
Skin pain.
LMAO goto Ghanaweb and see already what I’m saying. A so-called NSA is already demanding its share of $2million from the 12million ask me how much will be left for your chiefs and otumfos to share??? And Ghanaweb also confirms with me that Tuchel nor Bento applied for a post with GFA. You people are just noisemakers and very lousy at that matter. Like I said the only man linked is Ghana’s Hughton that also is writing on your Ghanaweb on todays news. Kindly prove me wrong Bokom Banku.
IMF is negotiating to borrow you 3billion because of economic KLeg and your president is flying aeroplane to Qatar for group stage match, does it make sense??? Macron whose France is not waiting on IMF only came after France made it to semis and you want to think that something is not wrong with the latter. Park well Jare!!!
Because I’m Charcoal like you then you come and tag me what your master has lied to you. You and I know his name…. Your boss who usually whisper use you spread manipulations. Have you polished your teeth and have you stopped keeping funny dread that is asking for help??? Ghanaman wey sun don humble.
Chima
U are charcoal like me but u have an iq like a SHOW LACE haha
No wonder the ghana girl tricked u and took all ur hustling monies haha
I wish Ghana didn’t participated in the ABURI ACCORD so that the Hausas and the fulanis wldnt have FINISH WHAT THEY STARTED haha
Damn it, Ghana saved these IGBOS lol
Next time royal Ghana ll be wise haha
Like this BUTTY boy will be long gone thanks to the hardened fulanis haha
@ China please respect the office of the president.It has no place in your analysis.These are serious countries wanting to make genuine progress.
You forgot that the Ghanaian made a lot of money from their participating in the world cup in Qatar and so can conveniently afford any for qualifying, they got $12m and almost $1m each as appearance fees for the three group stage matches.
Contrast that intent with the fraud Pinnick(he will never die better) played on Nigeria.
First he got a game master to be coach of the super falcon.He combined that with his job as game master of a college in America.You all saw what our once mighty Super falcon have been turn into.
As a parting gift, he brought in the desperate Peserio with dismal records because he is the only one that agreed to share the $50,000 with them.
So my dear China please apologize to the Ghana people and stop dragging the office of their president into this.
What am I apologising for? To a country that pretends a lot and always shift all their energy on Nigeria. A country that sleeps and breath Nigeria not for good but for how they can pull us down. If you read Ghanaweb for a week you’ll realise know how the average Ghanaians are. All these yaw and bankumade are Ghanaians and they’re not different from these class of people. The 12million that their GFA will share amongst themselves and their Girl Friends is what you think they’ll use to hire Tuchel. Lol SMH you think 12million is what these people have not shared from Government illegal dealings before and still hungry for more while their citizens are buying fuel for almost #2k per litre ??? Or you don’t know that it is that same 12million that made their president travel to Qatar only on group stage when serious presidents only travel at KO stage? You think Ghanaians will hear 12million and their body will come down??? If I am lying they should come and beat me in my house.
Bankumade Junkie Rasta coming here to fraternise with the Giants of Africa by force. Instead of you to come humbly you want to use your 50p manipulation on us. Nkatie burger head, you see eh one thing about my words is I’m not lying even when I tag you something all people need to do is to verify you. As for me I’m not hiding I use my real name anywhere. But you that I saw on YouTube honestly speaking you can’t meet me one on one in real life and escape. You can deceive other online people but not me. You know how much I know your and your Boss Satan. I will continue to shame the two of you on a daily basis until Jesus returns to chain you both! Kwasia zongo junkie trying to mingle!!!
NSA demands 2million from Ghana World Cup appearance achievement. Chiefs demand 7million, how much will players and the hungry GFA share??? The news is everywhere and this clowns are acting like I’m lying. Weirdos
Igbo nincompoop
Chamber pot is sensible than u lol
