Daniel Gaspar has been appointed as Ghana’s new goalkeepers’ trainer ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking a significant addition to the Black Stars’ technical setup as preparations gather pace.
The experienced Portuguese specialist reunites with head coach Carlos Queiroz, extending a long-standing professional partnership that spans more than three decades across both club and international football. Their collaboration is widely regarded as one built on trust, experience, and a shared tactical philosophy.
Gaspar brings a wealth of expertise in goalkeeper development, having previously worked with the Portugal national team during the 1990s and again between 2009 and 2010. Over the years, he has built a strong reputation for nurturing elite goalkeepers and enhancing defensive organization within teams.
His appointment is expected to play a key role in strengthening Ghana’s goalkeeping department, an area considered crucial as the team prepares for the global showpiece. With the Black Stars aiming to make a strong impact at the 2026 tournament, Gaspar’s experience and familiarity with Queiroz’s methods could prove vital.
The Ghana Football Association views the move as part of broader efforts to assemble a technically solid and competitive squad.
