Former Joachim Löw is edging closer to a surprise return to the dugout, with the ex-Germany boss reportedly on the brink of taking charge of the Ghana national football team on a short-term basis for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to multiple sources, negotiations have accelerated rapidly, with both parties now close to sealing personal terms after intense discussions over the past 24 hours.
The proposed deal would see Löw earn in the region of €150,000 per month, with his mandate strictly centered on leading Ghana at the global showpiece.

Löw, widely respected for masterminding Germany national football team’s triumph at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, arrives with a pedigree few international managers can match.
His 15-year spell at the helm of Germany established him as one of the game’s elite tacticians, known for blending structure with attacking fluidity while handling world-class talent.
Ghana have been in search of a steady hand since the exit of Otto Addo, whose tenure ended following a disappointing sequence of friendly results. With the clock ticking and preparations for the tournament entering a critical phase, the Ghana Football Association has faced mounting urgency to secure a high-profile replacement.
Time is not on their side. The Black Stars are set to kick off their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, leaving little room for a prolonged transition period.
Should the deal be finalized, Löw’s immediate challenge will be navigating a daunting Group L that features heavyweights England, Croatia, and Panama. His experience on the biggest stage could prove decisive as Ghana look to make a meaningful impact.
If completed, the appointment would represent a major statement of intent by Ghana, bringing in a World Cup-winning coach with a singular, high-stakes objective.
An official announcement is expected soon, pending the completion of final contractual details.
