Ghana are close to appointing former Germany head coach Joachim Low as their new boss‚ according to reports. The Black Stars have been left without a manager just 75 days before their first World Cup group game with Panama on June 18‚ after Ghanaian bosses sacked Otto Addo following a dire run of four defeats in a row.

It seems Ghana's crisis may now be over‚ though reports from the country suggest that Low‚ who led Germany to the World Cup in 2014‚ is set to take over the African side ahead of the tournament.
