Asempa FM Sports has learned that John Paintsil and Fatau Dauda are likely to lose their positions as assistant coaches of the Black Stars.
The former Ghanaian internationals were appointed to the technical team earlier this year when Otto Addo resumed his role as head coach in March.
However, the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) has sparked widespread criticism of the technical staff.
A review meeting was held last week to evaluate Otto Addo’s technical report, prompting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to consider making changes to the team’s backroom staff.
The proposed changes are expected to impact the roles of assistant coach and goalkeepers’ trainer, positions currently held by Paintsil and Dauda.
The shake-up reportedly follows Otto Addo’s request for upgrades to his support staff during a recent meeting with the GFA Executive Council.
The Black Stars’ disappointing AFCON qualification campaign saw them finish at the bottom of Group F, managing only three points from three draws and three losses.
This marks the first time in 20 years that the four-time African champions will miss the continent’s premier football competition.
In the aftermath of the qualifiers, the Black Stars are set to return to international action in March 2025, where they will face Chad and Madagascar in the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
