The Chairperson of the Black Queens management committee, Gifty Oware-Mensah, has praised the performance of head coach Nora Hauptle, acknowledging her success in leading the team to their first Africa Cup of Nations qualification in five years.
Under the guidance of the Swiss trainer, the team has only lost one of the eleven games she has supervised, with the latest loss coming against Namibia. The Black Queens have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 34 times while only conceding two goals.
Hauptle took over as head coach a year ago, following the replacement of Mercy Tagoe. Oware-Mensah, in an interview with Joy Sports, commended Hauptle’s performance but emphasized the need to evaluate her once her tenure with the team comes to an end.
Speaking about Hauptle’s performance, Oware-Mensah stated, “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 preparing 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.
