Cape Town - Ghana on Friday said they had chosen former Chelsea and West Ham manager Avram Grant to replace Kwesi Appiah who was sacked after the Black Stars' World Cup debacle.


Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi said Grant was the preferred candidate of five whose applications were considered.


Grant and Spanish coach Juan Ignacio Martinez were interviewed, Nyantakyi said, adding: “But our preference is Avram Grant on the details of the job requirements and expectations.”


If he accepts the terms, Grant could be in charge in time for Ghana's final Africa Cup of Nations' qualifiers against Uganda and Togo later this month.


Ghana have been without a coach since September 12, when Appiah was sacked following a turbulent World Cup in which Ghana failed to advance beyond the group stages.
