Ghana Appoints Kim Lars Björkegren for Dual Coaching Role
Ghana has reportedly appointed Swedish coach Kim Lars Björkegren to oversee both the men's and women's national football teams following the exit of former men's team coach Carlos Queiroz. Björkegren, aged 44, has been the head coach of Ghana's women's team since January 2025 and is now expected to provide interim leadership for the men's team.
His immediate focus will be on preparing the men's side for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Somalia. The Ghana Football Association has chosen Björkegren as the preferred candidate to ensure stability within the men's team.
He will collaborate with Medeama head coach Ibrahim Tanko and current men's assistant coach Godwin Attram as part of the technical team. Björkegren brings extensive international coaching experience from various leagues, including previous roles in Sweden, China, Cyprus, and the United States.
The Ghanaian football authorities are seeking to maintain competitiveness as they pursue qualification for the continental tournament.
