Former Cameroon assistant Ibrahim Tanko and Sellas Tetteh, who is currently in charge of Leone Stars, are leading the race for an indigenous Coach to fill the vacant position in February.
Tetteh’s recent appointment as head coach of Ghana’s Premier League side, Liberty Professionals was reported after news that he had resigned his post as the caretaker coach of Sierra Leone’s national team; the Leone Stars, but the Sierra Leone Football Association’s secretariat has debunked such report stating the he is still the head coach of the country’s national team.
The former Ghana U-20 World Cup winning coach was in August, 2015 appointed as the Leone Stars caretaker boss after an agreement between the Sierra Leone and Ghana football associations was reached.
However, a possible appointment as the Black Stars coach will see the gaffer drop the Sierra Leone job. The Black Stars have already been drawn in Group F with Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Kenya in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
