The Ghana Football Association is set to decide on the composition of the Black Stars’ backroom staff following the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as head coach of the senior national team.
The move forms part of a wider technical restructuring after Ghana secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Changes have already seen the dismissal of Otto Addo, who guided the team to qualification, following recent defeats to Austria and Germany. Winfried Schäfer has also been relieved of his duties as technical advisor and director of football.
Speaking to Asempa FM, GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum confirmed that Queiroz has requested additional technical support ahead of his tenure. However, he noted that the current technical team remains in place pending a final decision.
The existing setup includes John Paintsil, Desmond Ofei, Alain Ravera, Kim Lars Björkegren, Fatawu Dauda, Kris Perquy, Gregory De Grauwe, José Daniel Martínez Alfonso, Carlos Lozano Romero, Issah Amadou and Abdul Rahman Alhassan.
Queiroz is expected to officially begin work next month, with friendly matches against Mexico and Wales lined up. Ghana, drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England and Croatia, will be aiming for an improved showing after early World Cup exits in 2014 and 2022.
