“He basically told me that, look, the Ghana national team was looking for his services, and obviously, he would require me to go and assist him, and it was not a very difficult decision to make and accept," coach Roger De Sa told SportsBoom.co.za.

Queiroz and De Sa have with several national teams, including South Africa, Egypt, Portugal, and Iran.

De Sa added that his wife was the first person he informed after receiving the message.

I think she's become pretty accustomed to this."
