Avram Grant in talks to become new Ghana national coach

 Ghana expect to have a deal in place for Avram Grant to be their new national coach after their final 2015 Nations Cup qualifier on Wednesday.

Former Chelsea boss Grant, 59, has been discussing his financial package with the Ghana Football Association (GFA).  Nyantekyie confirmed Grant has met with the GFA in Accra and said it is "almost certain" the two parties will reach a deal.

"By the time we finish with our game against Togo, we should have an agreement in place," he said.

Grant will be given a two-year contract, and Nyantekyie says the GFA is confident he has the profile to succeed in the role.

"He is a motivator. He has the capacity and skill to manage egos and top players and these are some of the challenges that the Black Stars team is going through.

"He has the strength, he has a strong mentality. He feels in Africa most of the players lack the passion or the mentality even though they have the skill. We hope he will be able to instil these qualities so that we will win trophies."

Grant took Chelsea to the final of the 2008 European Champions League, in which they were beaten by Manchester United, and also had a four-year spell in charge of Israel's national side.
