This is a smart move by the Portuguese coach, and I am fully in support of it. Interfering in the coach's work is what is killing Black Stars team.
Again, there's too much hatred among the players. Look at what they did to Inaki Williams, his own teammates don't want him to succeed. Sad!

All that is waste of taxpayers' money. The Black Star is not going anywhere. Also, after spending... sorry, I mean WASTING our money on him and his buddies, their technical decisions will be overruled by Okraku and co, who have ZERO coaching/technical credentials yet decide to have a final say on the Black Star call ups, so that they can force their rotten cassava agency players into the squad and remove from the list players who have refused to sign up with agency.

I think is the best move. Honestly i really dont know what some ex-players want there. Not to demean anyone but the only person i agree to be there is Stephen Appiah cos he is highly regarded by all players current and ex, and he is able to read games and give insightful support. And we need a proper keeper's coach. I am happy 'Ojoe m3nsu' and other clowns are off the team. Also they should make it a policy to ban that unuseful jama. I really dont know where it gets us. Is so achaic and energy-sapping. Our opponents laugh when we sap energy singing before matches whiles they relax, meditate and tune in

I am of the same opinion. Singing Jama by professionals who are supposed to be in full concentrated mode prior to a game of both mental and physical exertion has and won't serve as well

Morons masquerading as leaders and running our football down with foolish and inept management principles. Why are we so stupid as a nation? You hire a coach and want him to run things smoothly and successfully, yet he cannot bring his own backroom staff?

Then why hire him in the first place? Did you make him understand the project and set strict terms for him to achieve? If yes, then why try to stifle or stiff him as he tries to work with people that he's totally familiar with, to achieve the goals set for him? You know this coach has been sacked wherever he's gone to, right?

Yet, these baboons and pinheads decided to hire him, and now want to make his tenure even more indefensible when the set goals are not achieved; so why are we still tolerating this stupid, pigheaded, idea-bankrupt FA? What's wrong with us a blacks or Ghana folks?

Mark it, under Okraku, Ghana will not qualify for 2 consecutive AFCONS, and we still think the problem stems from players or even coaches? We still cannot see who the problem is ad root it out? Black people and reasoning, beats me!

We Ghanaians are jealous of ourselves, many African countries include one or two coaches to understudy the substantive white coaches for future gains. Few examples, Kwasi Appiah, Aliu Cisse of Senegal and Emers Faye of Ivory Coast. In Ghana we disagree just because of the little allowances they receive which we repeatedly term it as the "tax payers money".

Should Ghana Hire Carlos Queiroz or Build a Ghanaian Coaching Team? The Debate Ghana Cannot Ignore
Ghana football is at a defining moment. After years of inconsistent performances, coaching changes, and structural weaknesses, the nation is once again searching for a solution that can restore pride to the Black Stars. Two major proposals dominate the conversation: hiring worldrenowned coach Carlos Queiroz or assembling a united team of Ghanaian coaches to rebuild the sport from within.
This debate is not merely about choosing a coach. It is about choosing a direction for Ghana football.
The Case for Carlos Queiroz: A System Coach, Not a Quick Fix
Carlos Queiroz is one of the most respected tacticians in global football. With experience coaching Portugal, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Colombia, and even Real Madrid, he brings a level of professionalism Ghana has not seen in years. His supporters argue that Queiroz is exactly the kind of leader Ghana needs — not because of his name, but because of his demands.
Queiroz insists on:
a modern technical department
strict discipline and accountability
zero political interference
worldclass training infrastructure
datadriven scouting and analysis
a clear football philosophy
a structured youth development pathway
These demands are not luxuries. They are the basic requirements of modern football. If Ghana hires Queiroz, the GFA would be forced to upgrade its systems, improve planning, and operate with professionalism. His presence alone would raise standards across the entire football ecosystem.
But Queiroz comes with risks. He is expensive, uncompromising, and unlikely to tolerate the political interference that has plagued Ghana football for years. If the GFA fails to meet his demands, the partnership could collapse quickly.
The Case for a Ghanaian Coaching Team: Identity, Continuity, and Cultural Understanding
On the other side of the debate is a growing call to build a strong, united team of Ghanaian coaches. Names such as Otto Addo, Didi Dramani, Ibrahim Tanko, Sellas Tetteh, and George Boateng represent a pool of local expertise with international exposure.
A Ghanaian coaching team offers:
cultural understanding
longterm continuity
easier communication with players
lower financial cost
national pride and ownership
deeper knowledge of local talent
Supporters argue that Ghana must stop relying on foreign coaches and instead build a sustainable football identity rooted in Ghanaian culture. They believe local coaches can create a longterm development plan, strengthen youth pathways, and rebuild the national team with patience and unity.
However, Ghanaian coaches face structural challenges: limited resources, political interference, outdated technical support, and inconsistent infrastructure. Without systemic reform, even the best local coaches will struggle.
The Real Issue: The System, Not the Coach
The truth is simple: neither Queiroz nor a Ghanaian coaching team can succeed if the system remains broken.
Ghana’s football problems are structural:
weak scouting
poor planning
lack of discipline
inconsistent youth development
outdated technical departments
political interference
inadequate infrastructure
Until these issues are addressed, no coach — foreign or local — can deliver lasting success.
What Ghana Must Decide
If Ghana wants rapid transformation, Queiroz is the stronger option. If Ghana wants longterm identity, a Ghanaian coaching team is the better path.
But both options require the same foundation: a modern, disciplined, interferencefree football system.
Ghana must fix the system first — then choose the coach who fits the new direction.
The debate continues, but one thing is clear: This decision will shape the future of Ghana football for the next decade.

Take the money for Queiroz’s foreign back room staff out of his own salary, but keep 1 local coach to understudy him. Do not overpay Queiroz - 40-45K/month should be the max. Tell him, take it or leave it.
