Chairman of Ghana’s Parliamentary Sports Committee, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has expressed strong support for the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as head coach of the Black Stars.
The 73-year-old Portuguese tactician was officially named Ghana’s new head coach following the dismissal of Otto Addo, with a short-term contract covering the build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and an option for extension depending on performance.
Ghana will compete at the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, having been drawn in Group L alongside England, Panama, and Croatia.
Reacting to the appointment, Norgbey said Queiroz’s vast international experience and tactical discipline make him a strong fit for the Black Stars job.
“He comes to the table with a wealth of experience and I think his tactical discipline will propel the team. I’m sure the players will also have the kind of respect for him because this is a coach with international rating,” he said.
He further praised the Ghana Football Association for what he described as a well-considered decision in selecting the veteran coach.
“For once, the GFA has taken a decision that will inure to the benefit of the Black Stars and I’m happy for the choice they have made,” he added.
Queiroz is expected to begin preparations immediately as Ghana gears up for its fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, with expectations high for a stronger and more disciplined performance on the global stage.
