Looking back on his two-year tenure, Grant said: “The time is right for me to move on to a new challenge.

"I’ve hugely enjoyed my time in Ghana taking over after the disastrous 2014 World Cup campaign and rebuilding the squad to reach the final in the African Cup of Nations for only the second time in 23 years, and also the last four this year.

“The passion and loyalty of the supporters is something I'll always remember.”
