Black Queens coach Kim Lars Björkegren is set to take charge of the Black Stars on an interim basis for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Somalia in November.
The Swedish trainer will lead a temporary technical team assembled following the departure of Carlos Queiroz, who left his post after Ghana lost their opening two matches in the qualifying campaign.
Björkegren will be supported by Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko and Black Stars assistant coach Godwin Attram as Ghana seek to revive their faltering qualification bid.
The interim team is expected to oversee the two matches against Somalia between 11 and 14 November 2026.
The arrangement will allow the Ghana Football Association’s five-member coaching search committee more time to assess candidates before appointing a permanent head coach.
Ghana began their Group C campaign with a 2-0 defeat by Ivory Coast before suffering a 4-2 loss to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Those results have left the Black Stars bottom of the group without a point, putting them under pressure to collect maximum points from their remaining fixtures if they are to secure qualification for the 2027 tournament.
Ghana are seeking a return to the continental showpiece after failing to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Following the Somalia fixtures, Björkegren will return his attention to the Black Queens as they prepare for the first phase of the 2027 Women’s World Cup qualifying play-offs.
