We are closely monitoring Herve Renard – Yaw Ampofo Ankrah

The Chairman of National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah says authorities of Ghana Sports, particularly the Sports and Recreation Ministry and GFA are closely monitoring French Tactician Herve Renard for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.

Though the two times Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champion coach is currently attached to a team, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah says anytime the opportunity presents itself, authorities will approach him to take over the Black Stars mantle.

“I have already received several messages about this coach as a potential long term replacement option for Ghana”

“GFA President Kurt E. S. Okraku is fully aware that Herve Renard at present is with Saudi Arabia where the Arabians re-signed him for the World Cup”

“I am also reliably informed that Coach Renard is having a dicey relationship with the Saudis and his future might be reviewed after the game with Serbia on Tuesday evening”

“Sports Minister Hon Kofi Iddi Adams is 100% alert to the developments” he posted on his Facebook wall.

The Black Stars have worked under six coaches since Kurt Okraku took over the Ghana Football Association (GFA) administration.

They are coaches Kwasi Appiah, C.K Akunor, Milovan Rajevac, Otto Addo, Chris Hughton and Otto Addo who was sacked after Ghana’s successive defeats in their recent international friendly matches.

The Black Stars were humiliated 5 -1 by Austria in Vienna on Friday 27th March, 2026 before losing 2 -1 against Germany in Stuttgart on Monday 30th, March 2026.

It was Black Stars fourth defeat in a roll since they secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This has necessitated the exit of Coach Otto Addo and the Sports Ministry and GFA are working together to get a good replacement with almost two months left for the great soccer fiesta.
