Kwesi Nyantakyi delighted with positive Avram Grant talks
Ghana Football Association president Kwesi
Nyantakyi says it held positive talks with
would-be national team coach Avram Grant on
Thursday in Accra over his remuneration.

The Israeli trainer topped the GFA’s list after
a panel interviewed three shortlisted coaches
including Juan Ignacio Martínez Jimenez and
former Switzerland assistant coach Michel Pont.

Grant must agreed financial terms with his new
employers before his appointment will be
confirmed.

But after the first day of meeting, the Ghana FA
looks satisfied and ready to hand him a two-year
contract as Kwesi Appiah’s successor.

“The meeting was very successful and positive
and we are very close to appointing him as the
next Black Stars coach,” Nyantakyi told
Africanfootball.com

“There were few things we needed to confirm with
him and that have been dealt with so we are now
satisfied and ready to appoint him.”

Grant, 59, became prominent in world football
after replacing Jose Mourinho as Chelsea manager
in 2007.

That season, he led the club to reach the final of
the UEFA Champions League-losing out to rivals
Manchester United in Moscow.

Grant then had unsuccessful spells at Portsmouth
and West Ham before landing a job at Serbian
giants Partizan Belgrade where he won the league
in 2002 but immediately resigned.

He is currently the technical director for Thai
Premier League side BEC Tero Sasana.
