‘I don’t hire coaches, and I don’t fire coaches’ – Kofi Adams
Queiroz stepped down from his role as head coach of the team after Ghana's poor start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Minister Kofi Adams declined to comment on the Black Stars' coaching situation following Carlos Queiroz's resignation. Queiroz left his position as head coach of the team after Ghana's disappointing performance in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. This departure has raised concerns about the next steps regarding the appointment of a new head coach, as Ghana's chances of qualifying for the next AFCON tournament appear to be dwindling following losses to Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia.
However, the minister firmly stated that he is not responsible for hiring or firing coaches. In an interview on Joy FM, Adams declared, "I don’t hire coaches, and I don’t fire coaches." He advised directing any questions about the coach's departure to the appropriate body. Ghana has struggled in recent matches, winning only one of their last eight games across all competitions and failing to secure an AFCON qualifying victory since September 2023.
