Manchester United legend, Dwight Yorke, has expressed interest in becoming the next head coach of Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars.
The 54-year-old former Trinidad and Tobago international is reportedly open to taking over the vacant position following the departure of Carlos Queiroz, who was sacked after Ghana’s poor start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Yorke, speaking in an interview cited by Ghanasoccernet, said he could offer Ghana an attacking and dynamic style of football.
“If they [Ghana] want something new, something dynamic, then the front-foot type of football that I have studied over the years.”
Yorke enjoyed a successful spell at Manchester United, where he formed a prolific partnership with Andy Cole and helped the club win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble in 1999.
The former striker also won three Premier League titles and another FA Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
He holds a UEFA Pro Licence and previously worked with Manchester United’s youth setup at Carrington.
His managerial career has included a spell with Australian club Macarthur FC, where he won the Australia Cup in his first season, as well as a stint as head coach of Trinidad and Tobago.
Ghana dismissed Queiroz after the Black Stars suffered consecutive defeats in their opening two Group C matches of the AFCON qualifiers.
They lost 2-0 away to Ivory Coast before surrendering a two-goal lead in a 4-2 home defeat to Gambia.
The defeat to Gambia left Ghana at the bottom of Group C without a point and ultimately brought Queiroz’s short tenure to an end.
