Ghana Targets Two-Time AFCON Winner Hervé Renard as Interim Coach After Addo’s Departure

Otto Addo’s sudden exit has prompted the Ghana Football Association to act swiftly. Following an emergency meeting, reports suggest Hervé Renard—winner of two AFCON titles and a World Cup veteran—has been approached for a short-term stint with the Black Stars. Ghana’s disastrous March window, including a 5-1 loss to Austria and a 2-1 defeat by Germany, sealed Addo’s fate. GFA officials and the Sports Minister traveled to Europe to witness the dips in performance that convinced them a change was needed. If confirmed, Renard will have just 69 days to prepare the squad for their North American friendlies against Mexico (May 22) and Wales (June 2), before facing England, Croatia, and Panama in Group L. Known for his high-intensity approach, Renard’s arrival has divided supporters—some doubt ten weeks is enough, while others back his proven track record.
