Felix Magath, the former coach of Bayern Munich, has expressed his interest in the vacant Ghana job following the dismissal of Chris Hughton, as exclusively confirmed by Ghanasoccernet.com.

Hughton, an Irish-Ghanaian, was sacked after Ghana's disappointing performance at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where they exited at the group stage in Cote d'Ivoire.

The four-time African champions had lacklustre performances in their three group games, culminating in their final game, where they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 and exit the tournament.

In the aftermath of these poor performances, Hughton was relieved of his duties, and a search committee was promptly formed to find a replacement. Magath has now expressed his interest in the position, according to his agent Vukoja Josip.

"Felix Magath has a great interest in the Ghana national team," Vukoja Josip told Ghanasoccernet in an exclusive conversation.

Magath, 70, has a wealth of experience and is a proven winner, meeting the requirements set by the Ghana FA for the committee searching for a new coach.

The German, having enjoyed a successful career as a footballer with three Bundesliga titles, a European Cup, a UEFA European Championship, and two World Cup silver medals, seamlessly transitioned into coaching.

His coaching journey has been equally remarkable, managing various clubs predominantly in Germany. Notably, he coached Bayern Munich for three years, securing two Bundesliga titles and two DFB-Pokals (German Cups).

Magath also clinched the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg and has been honoured as German Football Manager of the Year on three occasions.

With the Ghana Football Association (GFA) setting a three-week deadline for the search committee to find a suitable replacement for Hughton, Magath emerges as a formidable candidate, given his illustrious coaching career.

The Black Stars, seeking a fresh start, might benefit from Magath's reputed no-nonsense coaching style to bring out the best in their talented players.
