Ghana has experienced considerable instability in its coaching setup in recent years, particularly when it comes to the Black Stars.

Former Black Stars coach Chris Hughton is among the three coaches to have taken charge of the team in the last three years. He has expressed concern over what he describes as instability in the country's coaching system.

Carlos Queiroz has so far had the shortest stint; from April to July 2026, lasting about four months.

Speaking during an interview with BBC Sport Africa, he noted that the frequent changes in the Black Stars' coaching position make it difficult for the team to build the consistency needed to achieve its objectives.

“When you have inconsistency in the amount of time a manager is staying, it’s never good. You want that consistency in the players [and] the players want that consistency in what they see in the manager,” Hughton said.

He went on to commend the Black Stars’ display during their World Cup clash against England.

“What I saw in the World Cup is that they represented the country very well, particularly the England game. And although it was very much a defensive outfit, there were opportunities to score,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars are preparing for two crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Somalia, which will be played at the Essipong Sports Stadium, with Black Queens coach Kim Bjorkegren handed temporary responsibility for the men’s team.

Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only absentees as the team commenced preparations in Accra. The two French-based players didn't travel to Takoradi with the team.

The team will train at Essipong Stadium on Wednesday as Björkegren and his technical team continue working on the tactical plan for the two games.
