French tactician, Hervé Renard, says he is eyeing a possible return to Ghana as he dreams of winning the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) with the Black Stars.

Coach Renard was the assistant coach to Claude Le Roy when the Black Stars won bronze at the 2008 African Cup of Nations hosted by Ghana.

Speaking to TV3 in an interview, the former Lille manager said his dream is to help Ghana to conquer Africa again.

“Yes, I have to come back one day to help one country to win,” he said.

“That country has not won it for a long time and that is your country Ghana.

“I will love to win this feat with the Black Stars,” he added.
