Kim Lars Björkegren named interim head coach of the Black Stars

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Swedish tactician Kim Lars Björkegren as the interim head coach of the Black Stars. This decision comes as the association continues its search for a permanent manager to lead the senior national team. Björkegren, who possesses over a decade of coaching experience, is expected to provide immediate leadership and stability during this transitional period for Ghanaian football.

The interim coach's primary assignment will be leading the Black Stars through the crucial November double-header against Somalia. To support him in this task, the GFA has appointed Godwin Attram and Ibrahim Tanko as his assistants. Attram, who currently serves as a Black Stars assistant coach, and Tanko, a veteran of the national coaching setup, will provide essential local expertise and continuity as the squad prepares for these important international fixtures.

Björkegren’s appointment represents a temporary measure while the GFA evaluates its long-term options for the head coaching position. The Swedish manager's extensive background will be put to the test as he navigates the high expectations of the Ghanaian public. The upcoming matches against Somalia serve as a critical window for the team to maintain its competitive momentum while the administrative search for a permanent successor to lead the Black Stars moves toward a conclusion.
