Interviewing for the vacant Ghana coaching post will start on Friday as three managers will be vying for the post vacated by Milovan Rajevac.
Coaches Goran Stevanovic and Herbert Addo have been housed at the Novotel Hotel while the arrival of Humberto Coelho has not been confirmed.
If Coelho fails to arrive by 12 noon when the interviews are expected start, he will be examined on Monday.
The two European coaches will be joined by local manager Herbert Addo for Friday’s interviews after being short-listed.
Five coaches were short-listed but Marcel Desailly citing the delays in the naming of a new coach, withdrew, while Turk Can Vanli was axed for falsifying his CV.
The three remaining coaches are seeking to replace Serbian Milovan Rajevac, who opted not to renew his expired contract in September.
Serbian Stevanovic and Portuguese manager Coelho as well as Addo will be grilled by a panel made up of experienced Ghana FA administrators and coaches.
They will be examined on their plans for the Black Stars, their problems solving skills, their ability to improvise and cope with difficult condition.
Stevanovic is the favourite because of his impressive CV and achievements as he was the assistant coach of the Serbia team that impressed at the 2006 World Cup.
He also led Serbian side Partizan Belgrade to the league title and the lack of African experience could count against him even though Rajevac excelled with the Black Stars without African experience.
Stevanovic's flawless English unlike Rajevac's difficulty in speaking the language could be the Serbian coach's other weapon.
Coelho, on the other hand, has got rich African experience having led the national teams of Tunisia and Morocco.
But the Portuguese manager’s failure with both countries will strongly count against him as his only achievement was to send his native country to the semis of the 2000 European Championship.
Addo will also be favoured because of his immense knowledge of the local terrain but his lack of experience in dealing with world-class players at the highest level could be his undoing.
