The FA also says the financial details with regard to the abrogation of the contract by Ratomir Dujkovic are being worked out.

The Ghana Football Association has also confirmed that former assistant coach, Sellas Tetteh would act as the head coach of the Black Stars until a substantive coach is appointed.
