<p>According to the reports by Pure FM in Kumasi, the GFA is on the negotiation table trying to agree on a deal with a German coach.</p>

<p>The report by renowned sports journalist Bright Kankam Boadu suggests that the GFA is ready to offer a $60,000 salary to the coach.</p>

<p>But that is still $20,000 short of the $80,000 the German coach is demanding as salary.</p>

<p>Negotiations are still ongoing as the GFA are keen on hiring the technical coach to assist coach Otto Addo in qualifying Ghana for the 2026 World Cup to be hosted in the US, Canada, and Mexico.</p>

<p>The Black Stars have failed to win any of their four Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers and are on the verge of missing the tournament for the first time since 2004.</p>

<p>Ghanaians are growing impatient of the team with some calling for the dismissal of the coach.</p>

<p>The German coach is not going to be a replacement for Otto Addo, but reports suggest the 49-year-old could be sacked if Ghana fail to qualify for the 2026 Mundial.</p>
