Black Stars technical advisor Winfried Schäfer sacked as GFA shakes up backroom staff
Winfried Schäfer was sacked as the Black Stars technical advisor as the Ghana Football Association (GFA) continues to shake up the backroom staff of the senior national team. Schäfer was hired in late 2024 to support Otto Addo and his technical team following Ghana's failure to qualify for the AFCON 2025 in Morocco.
The German was relieved of his duties following the sacking of Otto last month. Many of the backroom staff might lose their jobs as the new head coach would be given the room to hire his support staff. Slaven Bilic, Carlos Quieroz, and Fernando Santos are the coaches earmarked to replace Otto Addo.
Sports Minister Kofi Adams said in an interview last week that a new Black Stars coach will be announced next week. The new coach will have barely 60 days to put the team together for the World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada. Ghana is in a group with Panama, England, and Croatia and will open its campaign against Panama on June 17, before playing England and Croatia on June 23 and 27, respectively.
