Winfried Schafer: Ghana bring in German as Black Stars technical advisor

The Ghana Football Association has brought in Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach Winfried Schafer as part of a revamp of its coaching set-up.

The 75-year-old German, who guided Cameroon to continental glory in 2002, has been appointed as director of football.

He will also serve as technical advisor for the Black Stars alongside head coach Otto Addo as the West Africans bid to improve their fortunes.

Ghana failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and will miss the finals for the first time since 2004, while they sit second in their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifying group.

Only the group winners are guaranteed a place at the tournament in North America next year.

The Ghana FA has tasked Schafer with developing and implementing long-term strategic plans, leading youth development and ensuring “consistent high performances” by national sides.

Meanwhile, Ghana Under-20 coach Desmond Ofei has become assistant coach of the Black Stars, Kris Perquy has been appointed as team psychologist and fellow Belgian Gregory de Grauwe will serve as chief video analyst.
