Zumdick took charge of Ghana for the preliminary 2006 World Cup qualifying round victory over Somalia but declined the offer of a two-year contract to return home where he became assistant coach at Hamburg SV.

He has also worked at Borrusia Dortmund since but his name has constantly been linked with a return to the Black Stars.
