The Ghana national team has strengthened its technical setup with the appointment of experienced Portuguese coach Daniel Gaspar as the new goalkeepers’ trainer ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Gaspar’s appointment marks a reunion with Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz, rekindling a professional partnership that has spanned more than 30 years across club and international football. The duo have built a strong working relationship over the decades, and their collaboration is expected to bring valuable experience and cohesion to Ghana’s technical bench.
A highly respected figure in goalkeeper development, Gaspar boasts an impressive résumé. He previously worked with the Portugal national football team in the 1990s and returned for another stint between 2009 and 2010, contributing to the growth of several top-level goalkeepers.
His arrival comes at a crucial time as Ghana intensifies preparations for the Mundial, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With expectations high, the Ghana Football Association is keen on assembling a strong and experienced technical team capable of guiding the Black Stars to success on the global stage.
Gaspar is expected to play a key role in sharpening the performance of Ghana’s goalkeepers, an area that has often come under scrutiny in recent competitions. His expertise in modern goalkeeping techniques and player development is seen as a major boost for the team.
As the Black Stars continue their build-up to the 2026 World Cup, the reunion between Gaspar and Queiroz signals a deliberate effort to blend experience, trust, and technical quality in Ghana’s quest to make a significant impact at the tournament.
