Paulo Bento has emerged as a leading candidate to take over the Black Stars, as the Ghana Football Association steps up its search for a new head coach.
The Portuguese tactician is among the prominent names being considered following the departure of Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties after the recent international window.
Paulo Bento brings significant international experience, having previously managed both South Korea national football team and Portugal.
His track record includes guiding South Korea to the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup, enhancing his reputation as a coach capable of competing at the highest level.
For Ghana, the potential appointment represents a shift towards a more experienced, tactically structured approach as they prepare for a demanding period on the international stage.
The Black Stars have already been drawn into a challenging Group L at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will face England, Croatia and Panama.
With the stakes high, the GFA is keen to secure a manager who can quickly stabilise the team and build a competitive squad capable of navigating one of the tournament’s toughest groups.
While no final decision has been announced, Bento’s profile and experience place him firmly among the frontrunners as Ghana look to usher in a new era following Addo’s exit.
