Among the other coaches to be interviewed are Michel Pont, Marco Tardelli, Avram Grant and Juan Ignacio Jimenenz.
Pont and Tardelli will be interviewed on 17th October, 2014 while Grant and Jimenez will be on 18th October 2014.
Meanwhile, Ricardo Gareca is on standby in the event that one of the above listed coaches decides to pull out.
The GFA is looking for a replacement for coach Kwesi Appiah after the two parties parted ways.
Kwesi Appiah’s assistant Maxwell Konadu is currently handling the team and guided the team in their 1-1 drawn game with Guinea, in Casablanca, Morocco on Saturday.
The return leg will be played at the Tamale stadium on Wednesday with the same Guinean side.
