I might return to coach Black Queens again - Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo

Published on: 25 July 2023

Former Black Queens head coach, Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo says she might return to coach the women's senior national team again.

Having coached the Queens from 2019 to 2023, Madam Tagoe-Quarcoo led the team to victory in the maiden edition of the West Africa Football Union Zone B tournament in Abidjan in 2018 as interim manager.

However, she was shown the exit due to the unimpressive performance of the team.

Using former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah as an example, coach Tagoe-Quarcoo indicated her willingness to return to the role in the future.

“Coaching is full of uncertainties. Kwesi Appiah was [head coach of the] Black Stars," the veteran trainer, who became the first-ever woman to handle the national team she told Citi Sports.

"He went for a while and he came back. I can come back. You never know. I am still a coach," she added.

Kwesi Appiah is famously remembered for leading the Black Stars to qualify for the 2014 Mundial in Brazil but was sacked following the team's early exit.

He, however, returned to lead the Black Stars to the 2019 AFCON but got dismissed a second time after a poor showing.

Meanwhile, the Black Queens are currently in the next round of the 2024 Women's Olympic Games qualifiers following their impressive 7:0 aggregates win over Guinea.

Nora Häuptle and her charges will take on Benin in the next round of the qualifiers.
