Carlos Queiroz's pedigree commands respect, says Sports Committee Chairman

Tue 14th Apr, 2026 22:38

Chairman of Ghana’s Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has expressed strong confidence that the vast experience and international pedigree of newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz will naturally compel players to adhere to his instructions on and off the pitch.

Norgbey believes the 73-year-old Portuguese tactician’s rÃ©sumÃ©â€”which includes managing Real Madrid, leading Iran to two World Cups, and taking Egypt to the global stageâ€”carries a weight that few coaches in African football can match. That authority, he argued, will translate into discipline and compliance from the Black Stars squad.

“He comes to the table with a wealth of experience, and I think his tactical discipline will propel the team. I’m sure even the players will also have the kind of respect for him because this is a coach with an international rating," Norgbey said.

Queiroz, who has taken four different nations to the FIFA World Cup, was appointed on a four-month contract with an option to extend. He replaces Otto Addo following Ghana’s poor run of friendly results and failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Norgbey argued that the timing of the appointment, though close to the tournament, is less of a concern because Queiroz’s authority will accelerate the team’s tactical buyâ€‘in.

Queiroz is expected to meet the squad during upcoming friendlies against Mexico (May 22) and Wales (June 2). Ghana open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, before facing England and Croatia in Group L.

For Norgbey, the appointment signals a new era of discipline and respect within the Black Stars campâ€”one where the coach’s word is final, and the players are ready to obey.
