Former head coach of the South Korea national team, Paulo Bento is a candidate for the vacant Black Stars head coach job.
Ghana is currently without a head coach following Coach Otto Addo’s decision to leave the Black Stars after the exit of the national team at the end of the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
At the tournament, Coach Otto Addo steered Ghana to beat South Korea but there were defeats against Portugal and Uruguay.
After the exit, Coach Otto Addo returned to Germany where he is going to continue his role as a talent development coach at Borussia Dortmund.
As the search for a replacement continues, footballghana has gathered that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has shortlisted some six coaches for the Black Stars job.
Among the six is former South Korea coach Paulo Bento.
The Portuguese tactician left his role as head coach of the South Korea national team when the side lost to Brazil in the Round of 16.
"We just have to think about the future and it will not be with the national team of South Korea," Paulo Bento told BBC after the match.
The 53-year-old tactician in the past has handled Chongqing Lifan, Olympiacos, Sporting CP, and at a time was part of the technical team of the Portuguese national team.
During his playing days, Paulo Bento played for clubs including Vitória Guimarães, Benfica, Real Oviedo, and Sporting Lisbon.
