The Senior Communications Manager of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Sheikh Tophic Sienu, has revealed that the decision to appoint Kim Lars Björkegren as interim Black Stars coach was taken by the Black Stars Coach Search Committee, not the GFA.
Speaking on Vision 1 FM, Sheikh Tophic explained that the committee recommended the interim technical team after the departure of Carlos Queiroz, and the GFA, in consultation with the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, only accepted the recommendation.
The interim team, led by Kim Lars Björkegren, who is also the Black Queens head coach, will be assisted by Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram, with former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda serving as goalkeepers coach.
The arrangement is only for the Black Stars’ November 2027 AFCON qualifying double-header against Somalia, while the Search Committee continues its work to find a substantive head coach.
