Ghana assistant coach Roger de Sa details how he got the job
Roger de Sa detailed how he received a call that earned him the role ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup later this year. He said he "received a message from Carlos Queiroz basically asking me if I was up for a big challenge again, and he asked me to call him as soon as I woke up." De Sa was named part of Ghana's technical team ahead of the tournament in April.
De Sa, 61, joins Carlos Queiroz, a man he's worked with at multiple tournaments. Queiroz told him "that, look, the Ghana national team was looking for his services, and obviously, he would require me to go and assist him, and it was not a very difficult decision to make and accept." Queiroz and De Sa have worked with several national teams, including South Africa, Egypt, Portugal, and Iran. De Sa said his wife was the first person he informed after receiving the message. He also said it was his seventh national team.
De Sa said, "It's always a great honour to be part of the fantastic national team in the World Cup once again. It is a privilege, and I enjoy every day and make the most of it." He also said, "I've never had big dreams, to be honest with you, as a kid. It was always to just win every day, win every match, win every training session and try to win every competition."
