Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant is on the verge of being named Ghana head coach ahead of Spaniard Juan Ignacio Martinez and former Switzerland assistant coach Michel Pont.
The 59-year-old led Chelsea to the Champions League final in 2008, where they lost to Manchester United, and also managed the Israel national team for four years.
He will be appointed provided he is able to reach a financial agreement with the country's football association.
'If we reach an agreement with him we'll appoint him as Black Stars coach,' GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi told the BBC.
'If we don't reach an agreement with him, we'll look at our second option.'
'We're going to engage Grant on the details of the job requirement and expectations which will span from remuneration, conditions of service and others,' Nyantakyi added.
'We are going to re-negotiate effectively. We know his salary expectation but we'd like to see if we can beat it down further.'
