Black Stars head coach, Avram Grant will leave his post as the coach of the national team after Saturday’s African Nations Cup third place playoff match against Burkina Faso.

Avram Grant took over the Black Stars a month to the last Nations Cup in Equatorial Guinea and took the side to the final but the team lost to Ivory Coast on penalties.

At the tournament in Gabon, Ghana reached the semifinals but were beaten 2-0 by Cameroon in Port Gentil on Thursday.

The Israeli trainer after the tournament avoided questions about his future.

Ghana made a poor start to their World Cup qualifying group with a single point from two games and their hopes of making it to four successive world cup appearances is now in tatters.
