Walid Regragui Emerges as Top Candidate for Ghana Job Ahead of 2026 World Cup

Former Morocco head coach Walid Regragui has emerged as the leading contender to take over as Ghana’s next national team manager following the departure of Otto Addo.

The Black Stars are currently without a permanent head coach after Otto Addo was relieved of his duties due to a string of disappointing performances during the March international break. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has since begun the search for a suitable replacement as the team looks to rebuild ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to multiple reports, the GFA has already opened discussions with Regragui over the vacant position. The move signals serious intent from the federation to bring in an experienced and proven tactician.

Regragui is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in African football. His impressive track record and recent achievements have placed him among the most sought-after managers on the continent, making him a strong candidate to lead Ghana back to the global stage.
