Black Queens coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has revealed why he accepted the job as Ghana’s women’s national team coach.
According to the Swedish tactician, he was convinced by the immense talent in Ghana, particularly among the young players.
“The talent in Ghana is immense. The young players are particularly impressive. I saw a long-term project with real potential. Also, the opportunity to immerse myself in a new footballing culture was appealing. I’m really enjoying my time here,” Bjorkegren told CAF Online.
Bjorkegren will lead the Black Queens to the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next month, after a six-year absence.
He acknowledged that there is still work to be done, stating, “We still have work to do, both on and off the pitch. Tactically, we need to be more organised, and fitness levels must improve. One of our long-term goals is to get our top players competing in stronger leagues.”
The Black Queens have been drawn in Group C alongside South Africa, Tanzania, and Mali. Despite limited training sessions, Bjorkegren expressed optimism, saying, “We’ve had very limited training sessions so far, but with every camp, we grow stronger.”
