Thegoalmac can reveal that Patrick Kluivert and Avram Grant are at the top of a five-man
shortlist named by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to replace coach
Kwesi Appiah.
Michel Pont, Juan Ignacio Jimenez and Marco Tardelli are also in
contention to replace Appiah after the 54-year-old left his position
with the national team in September.
Who do you think that will do a better job?For me will go for Mr Kluivert,for his youthfulness and will like to see him introduce the dutch way of playing football to our Ghanaian brothers.
Appiah leaves Ghana after a disappointing World Cup campaign in
which the African nation finished bottom of their group with just one
point from their three matches.
Former Chelsea, West Ham and Israel boss Grant arguably has the
strongest record of the contenders, while Kluivert's distinguished
playing career with the likes of Netherlands and Barcelona may also
make
up for his lack of managerial experience, but his time spent assisting
Louis van Gaal at the Dutch national team puts him in good stead.
Like Grant, Tardelli has international experience having coached the
Egyptian national team and his latest role saw him assist Giovanni
Trapattoni with the Republic of Ireland.
Jimenez, Real Valladolid's former head coach, and Pont are also in
the running. with the interview process beginning in mid-October.
"Pont, Kluivert and Tardelli will arrive in Accra to be interviewed
on 17th October," the GFA announced. "Grant and Jimenez will be
interviewed on 18th October.
"Meanwhile two coaches have been placed on standby in the event one or some of the above listed are not readily available.
"The two coaches on the standby list are Bernd Schuster and Ricardo Gareca."
