Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Henry Asante Twum, has disclosed no Ghanaian coach has applied for the vacant Black Stars job.
The Ghana national team is currently without a substantive trainer following the resignation of Otto Addo.
Addo, 47, who also serves as Borussia Dortmund’s talent coach left his role after the Black Stars’ early exit from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
After beating South Korea, Ghana needed a win or draw against Uruguay to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
However, the team failed to negotiate for points against their South American opponent in the final group game.
