The Ghana Football Association has revamped the technical team of the Black Stars following a dismal 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Veteran German manager and former Africa Cup of Nations Winner (with Cameroon in 2002), Winfried Anton Schafer, has been appointed as technical advisor of the team with a mandate to work closely with head coach Otto Addo to build a winning team.
Schafer, who formerly managed Cameroon, Thailand and Jamaica will also play the role of director of football for the Ghana Football Association (GFA). Schafer’s working experience of over forty years also included stints with European clubs including Borussia Monchengladbach, Karlsruher SC, VFB Stuttgart and Borussia Berlin.
Schafer has also coached in the United Arab Emirates, working with top clubs namely Al Ain, Al-Ahli Dubai, Baniyas and Al-Khor. His last coaching role was with Al Khor. The highlight of Schafer's experience with national teams was winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon in 2002.
Otto Addo will be assisted by under-20 coach Desmond Ofei. Kris Perquy, an experienced sports psychologist with seventeen years of experience, takes up the mantle of psychologist of the team.
The video analysis unit of the team will be headed by Belgian video analyst Gregory De Grauwe who has built his expertise and experience in video analysis working with football clubs including Sporting Lokeren and K. Beerschot VA.
Two new vastly experienced equipment officers, in the persons of Issah Amadou and Abdul Rahman Alhassan, have also been named to the team.
