The president of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi says the football body would do the necessary due diligence on the three shortlisted applicants for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.

Kwesi Nyantakyi, who also head the nine-member search committee set up the FA’s executive committee to look for a suitable successor to Ratomir Dujkovic speaking exclusively to www.ghanafa.org stated that the committee has been impressed with the process so far.

The nine-member search committee set up to scout for a new coach for Ghana's senior national team last week shortlisted three coaches out of the fifty four applicants for the Black Stars job.

A statement from FA named the shortlisted applicants as Jones Attuquayefio, Phillipe Troussier and Claude Le Roy.

According to the FA president, the due diligence process would take a week.

“We really do not have to rush into taking a decision on the replacement.

“We have to take our time and evaluate the CV’S of whoever we would like to consider. We would have to do some due diligence on the person.

“We have to satisfy ourselves that, that is the best person we have chosen to take over from Dujkovic,” the FA president said.

After the due diligence process, the three shortlisted coaches would be invited the by the FA for an interview before the new Black Stars coach is named.

“I believe that this could take a month or over two,” the FA president said.

Ghana’s coaching position became vacant after Serbian Ratomir Dujkovic resigned following a second round finish at the 2006 world cup in Germany.
