John Paintsil and Joseph Laumann facing sack in potential Black Stars shake-up

Published on: 15 January 2025

Reports emerging from Ghanaian football circles suggest that John Paintsil and Joseph Laumann, assistant coaches of the Black Stars, are on the brink of being dismissed by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The potential shake-up comes in the wake of intense criticism aimed at the technical team, led by Otto Addo, following Ghana's failure to qualify for the upcoming AFCON in Morocco.

Sources close to the GFA indicate that talks are underway with a Belgian and a Serbian coach to replace Paintsil and Laumann, although their identities remain undisclosed.

The move is seen as an attempt to revamp the coaching staff and restore confidence in the team ahead of crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar in March.

The Black Stars' failure to qualify for AFCON has sparked widespread outrage among Ghanaian football fans, with many calling for Otto Addo's dismissal.

While Addo's future remains uncertain, it is unclear whether Paintsil and Laumann will be sacked before the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.

The potential departure of Paintsil and Laumann would mark a significant change in the Black Stars' coaching staff, and fans will be watching closely to see how the situation unfolds.
