Former Chelsea and West Ham United boss Avram Grant is on the brink of signing terms with the Ghanaian FA.
GFA president Kwesi 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 told BBC Sport.
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 instill these qualities so that we will win trophies."
