Ghana Awaits Official Salary Details for New Black Stars Coach Carlos Queiroz

The Ghanaian government, through Sports Minister Kofi Adams, has clarified that the financial details surrounding the appointment of new Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz are still pending official confirmation from the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Minister Adams emphasized that until the GFA provides the requisite documentation, particularly concerning the salary structure and tax implications, the government cannot finalize discussions. This stance addresses the growing public curiosity about the financial commitments being made to the technical team, especially as the Black Stars gear up for crucial international fixtures.

“

I haven’t received the documentation from the FA. So once we receive the documentation, then we will know what is involved and what is not involved.

While the exact figures for Queiroz's remuneration remain undisclosed, the public's attention is drawn to the financial aspects, a common concern in national sports. The government's measured approach, awaiting official figures from the GFA, underscores a commitment to due diligence in managing public resources allocated to sports development. This process is vital for rebuilding confidence and ensuring the team's readiness for upcoming continental and international challenges.

Mostly the tax part, sometimes it is the FA that pays or the ministry pays the tax, and the person has a standard figure.
