It Will Be Claude Le Roy

... He did not even apply for the job
In what is perhaps the worst-kept secret in Ghana fooball, Claude Le Roy is expected to be named today, as the new coach/manager of the Ghana national football team. The Frenchman man will succeed Serbian Ratomir Djukovic.

According to an Accra-based newspaper, among the 54 applicants that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced had applied for the Black Stars job, Le Roy was the only one who did not put in an application. Mysteriously, he was still short-listed.

?Frankly Roy applied for the Cameroon job, but when we lost that one and the Ghana deadline had passed, we thought we had no chance again?but not long we had a call from the GFA that we should attend an interview?, a close associate of the coach told the newspaper.

Claude Le Roy was the coach of Cameroon national football team when they won the 1988 African Cup of Nations and finished as runners-up in the 1986 African Cup of Nations, and also their manager during the 1998 World Cup. He was the coach of Senegal national football team when they reached the quarterfinals at the 1992 African Cup of Nations

Cecil Jones Attuquayefio is the other coach in the race.
