Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has praised the quality in Ghana’s squad, describing the Black Stars coaching job as an attractive opportunity.

Yorke is among several names linked with the vacant position in the local Ghanaian media following the departure of experienced coach Carlos Queiroz.

The Trinidad and Tobago-born former forward had previously expressed interest in the role and has now reaffirmed his desire to coach Ghana, pointing to the quality of players available to the national team, including Premier League stars Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo.

“You look at the squad and your eyes open even wider,” Yorke told The Guardian, highlighting the talent at Ghana’s disposal.

The 54-year-old also revealed that an agent contacted him to inform him of Ghana’s interest in appointing him as the next head coach.

“The conversation started there and then reached the media before I really knew it,” he said.

Yorke has coaching experience with Australian club Macarthur FC, whom he guided to the Australia Cup title in 2022, and Trinidad and Tobago, whom he took charge of in November 2024.

Queiroz’s departure followed a poor start to Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, with the Black Stars losing consecutive matches against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia. The results have raised concerns about Ghana’s chances of qualifying, having missed the 2025 tournament.

A committee tasked with finding a new coach has recommended Black Queens manager Kim Lars Björkegren to take interim charge for Ghana’s November matches against Somalia. He is expected to be assisted by Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram as the search for a permanent head coach continues.
