Ghana target World Cup-winning German coach with ₦206 million p/m salary to replace Addo

Ghana are making a bold statement ahead of the next international cycle, as the Black Stars intensify efforts to land a world-class coach capable of restoring their global reputation.

With the 2026 World Cup looming, the West African giants appear ready to spend big and think even bigger.

The Ghana Football Association has opened advanced talks with former Joachim Löw as they search for a successor to Otto Addo. Negotiations reportedly began in Germany and have progressed rapidly, with personal terms now close to being finalised.

Löw, who famously guided Germany national football team to victory at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, is viewed as the ideal candidate to bring stability and elite-level experience to a Ghana side that has struggled for consistency in recent years.

The proposed deal is understood to be a short-term project, focused squarely on qualification for, and participation in, the 2026 World Cup. It reflects a pragmatic approach from Ghana’s hierarchy, prioritising immediate impact over long-term rebuilding as they aim to re-establish themselves among football’s elite.

To secure Löw’s services, Ghana are reportedly offering a staggering monthly salary of €150,000, approximately ₦206 million, underlining the seriousness of their intent.

The financial package signals a shift in strategy from the federation, who are now willing to invest heavily in proven leadership to revive the Black Stars’ fortunes. Löw’s track record in managing high-pressure tournaments and elite players is seen as a crucial asset as Ghana look to compete on the biggest stage once again.

Should the deal be completed, it would mark one of the most high-profile managerial appointments in African football in recent years — and a clear message that Ghana are ready to dream big again.
