Panama head coach Thomas Christiansen Tarín has reportedly applied for the vacant Black Stars head coach role, becoming the latest high-profile name in Ghana’s search for a successor to Carlos Queiroz.
The Danish-Spanish tactician faced Ghana at the 2026 World Cup, where Panama lost 1–0 in Toronto, giving him first-hand knowledge of the Black Stars’ strengths and style. He has built a varied coaching résumé across Europe, managing AEK Larnaca and APOEL Nicosia in Cyprus, Leeds United in England and Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, and is regarded as an organised, tactically flexible coach with international experience.
The Black Stars role became vacant on 1 October 2026 after Queiroz resigned following a poor start to the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. A five-member search committee, chaired by former GFA vice-president Fred Pappoe, is reviewing applications, with the deadline extended to 15 October and evaluation ongoing through October and November. More than 400 coaches have reportedly applied for the position.
For the November fixtures against Somalia, Ghana have appointed Kim Lars Björkegren as interim head coach, working alongside Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram, with Fatawu Dauda as goalkeepers’ coach. The search committee continues to assess candidates for the substantive role, with Christiansen among those under consideration.
