Dwight Yorke insists he is a manager, not a former player, as he is considered for the vacant Ghana head coach role after previous spells with Macarthur and Trinidad and Tobago.
01Summary
- 01Dwight Yorke is among candidates to replace Carlos Queiroz as Ghana head coach, who left on 1 October.
- 02He managed Macarthur in the A-League, winning the Australia Cup in 2022 before being sacked in January 2023.
- 03A Fifa chamber and the court of arbitration for sport ruled that Macarthur dismissed him without just cause, ordering the club to pay AU$212,500.
- 04Yorke was Trinidad and Tobago head coach from November 2024 until March 2025, losing only once in six World Cup qualifiers.
- 05Ghana are bottom of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group with no points after defeats to Côte d'Ivoire and Gambia.
02Why it matters
This matters because Yorke could be appointed to revive Ghana's national team, which is struggling in Afcon qualifying despite recent World Cup progress.
