People don’t remember style of play – GFA Comms Director defends Quieroz appointment
Asante Twum has defended the decision to retain 73-year-old Carlos Queiroz as Black Stars head coach, arguing that results should take precedence over playing attractive football.
The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has defended the decision to keep 73-year-old Carlos Queiroz as the head coach of the Black Stars. In an interview on Asempa FM, Twum emphasized that the outcome of matches is more important than the style of play. He stated that people remember a coach for their results and not for their attractive football.
"People will remember you for your result and not your style, so for me, getting results is more important than playing stylish football," Twum said. He questioned whether playing attractive attacking football and losing 5-0 or playing a defensive, boring style but winning 1-0 and taking three points to win a trophy is better. Queiroz led Ghana to the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage, but their campaign ended with a 1-0 loss to Colombia in the Round of 32.
The GFA has retained Queiroz as the Black Stars prepare for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, with the association confident that results will be the ultimate measure of success. Ghana will face tough qualifiers, including matches against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.
