Ghana’s quest for 2026 FIFA World Cup success intensifies as the Ghana Football Association (GFA) recruits five elite coaches to supercharge the Black Stars’ technical team.
Black Stars Technical Advisor Winfried Anton Schäfer laid out the vision during an interview with Medeamaa FM. “Strategically onboarding these five additions fortifies our path to World Cup triumph,” Schäfer affirmed, highlighting how their skills address key gaps in strategy, fitness and mentality just days after the GFA’s announcement.
The new recruits blend global flair with homegrown talent: French mastermind Alain Ravera for cutting-edge tactics; Black Queens boss Kim Lars Björkgren, bridging men’s and women’s programs; Spanish innovator José Daniel Martínez Alfonso; elite physiotherapist Carlos Lozano Romero; and UK-Ghanaian whiz Dwayne Peasah Paa Kwesi, a performance analytics expert.
Each brings specialized firepower, Ravera and Martínez Alfonso to orchestrate fluid play, Björkgren to instill winning habits, Lozano Romero to bulletproof player health, and Paa Kwesi to maximize output through science. This multifaceted brain trust aims to transform recent qualifier stumbles into unstoppable momentum.
