Gifty Oware-Mensah, Chair of the Black Queens’ Management Committee, has emphasized the need to reserve judgment on the team’s coach, Nora Hauptle, until after her tenure with the national team.
Swiss trainer, Nora Hauptle, took over as head coach of the women’s national team a year ago, following technical changes that saw Mercy Tagoe replaced.
During Hauptle’s tenure, the team has participated in 11 games, including 8 competitive matches and 3 friendlies, winning 10 out of 11 with just one defeat. They have scored 34 goals while conceding only two.
In an interview with Joy Sports, Oware-Mensah commended Hauptle’s performance but emphasized the need to evaluate her once she departs, stating, “Nora has done well. I am not the type that goes out quickly to say people have done so well because until it’s done, never say never.
“For football, it’s a win, lose or draw. We will win some, lose some and draw some. So far if we are to rate her, she’s done well but I will only rate her after she’s left the stage.”
The Black Queens are currently gearing up for the first leg of their third-round qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games against Zambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, February 23rd.
