ACCRA (AFP) - Ghana on Friday said they want their French coach Claude Le Roy to steer them towards double qualification for the World Cup and African Cup of Nations in 2010.

The 'Black Stars', hosts of the 2008 African Nations Cup here, exited the competition Thursday after a 1-0 semi-final defeat to Cameroon.

Cameroon will now meet Egypt in the final, after their 4-1 demolition of Ivory Coast.

Le Roy told AFP the offer was "a great honour".

"I would be very proud to stay, so my answer would be in the affirmative but I still have to consider," said Le Roy.

Le Roy, who has coached Ghana sinde the start of 2006, would have the double task of qualifying Ghana for both the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola and the World Cup in South Afirca.
