Africa Development Council (ADC) urged greater investment in local coaches after Ghana's exit from the ongoing FIFA World Cup. Following Ghana's Round of 32 exit, Mr. Carlos Queiroz, the Portuguese coach appointed in April 2026 on a four-month contract, stepped down as head coach of the Black Stars, stating that "Black Stars success must start off the field."
In a statement issued by Dr. Bright Atsu Sogbey, President of ADC, and Mr. Michael Ackumey, Scribe of the ADC Secretariat, the non-profit organization argued that the decision on who should lead the national team went beyond tactics to encompass identity, capacity building, and the prudent use of national resources.

ADC stated that a national team coach is more than a tactician, serving as a leader, motivator, strategist, ambassador, and symbol of national pride.
