1. Kwesi Appiah (April 2012 - September 2014, May 2017 - January 2020)

Kwesi Appiah stands out for being the first Ghanaian to qualify the Black Stars for a FIFA World Cup, leading the team to the 2014 tournament in Brazil. His tenure was marked by a blend of discipline and a focus on integrating young talents into the national setup.

His tenure may not have been long, but his impact was felt in the seamless transitions he managed during times of change.

3. Charles Akonnor (January 2020 - September 2021)

Taking over from Kwesi Appiah, Charles Akonnor's appointment was met with high expectations. Akonnor aimed to instill a new philosophy, focusing on aggressive football and discipline. His tenure saw the Black Stars qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, but inconsistent performances led to his early departure.
