FIFA High-Performance Specialist Faisal Chibsah believes Ghana’s decision to appoint Carlos Queiroz could mark a decisive shift in the Black Stars’ direction, particularly in restoring structure and discipline ahead of the World Cup.
Otto Addo was dismissed after a difficult run of four consecutive defeats in international friendlies, leaving the federation to act swiftly with just months remaining before the expanded 48-team tournament.
The former Portugal and Egypt coach has been handed a short-term four-month contract to stabilise the team and guide them through the global showpiece.
Chibsah expressed optimism about the impact the 73-year-old could have on the squad’s mentality and organisation, while also stressing the demands that come with managing Ghana at this level.
“He will bring a bit of discipline to the team, which for me was lacking a lot. We would see [discipline] and also [Ghana would] definitely get an identity,” Chibsah told Joy News.
“The challenge for Carlos now would be how adaptable he can be taking on Ghana.”
“Iran, Oman, Qatar [recent jobs of Queiroz] are not Ghana. Ghana, we expect more.”
Ghana head into the World Cup with ambitions of reaching the knockout stages for the first time since 2010, with Group L fixtures against England, Croatia and Panama setting a demanding early test.
