Reports have emerged that Hector Cuper, Steve McClaren and Chris Hughton have been shortlisted for the position, according to a report by Asempa FM.

However, Asante Twum speaking in an interview said his outfit is yet to make a shortlist of coaches who have applied for the job.

"We haven’t made any shortlist and at the right time we will," Henry said on State of the Affairs on GHOne TV.

"The job is open for all. Once you are a competent coach.

"There is pressure to appoint a competent coach. We are not looking at race or colour but just a competent coach.

The Black Stars have been without a substantive head coach following the resignation of Otto Addo following the country's early exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Meanwhile, Kwesi Appiah has confirmed he has applied for the vacant coaching job.
