Daniel Gaspar Set to Join Black Stars as Goalkeepers’ Coach in New Technical Team

By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Apr 21, 2026

American-Portuguese coach Daniel Gaspar is expected to be named the new Black Stars goalkeepers’ coach as part of Ghana’s revamped technical set-up under incoming head coach Carlos Queiroz.

Gaspar brings with him a wealth of international experience and a long-standing working relationship with Queiroz that stretches back more than three decades. Since 1992, he has served alongside the renowned tactician in various capacities, including goalkeeping coach, technical adviser, and assistant coach, across both club and national team appointments.

The highly respected trainer has built a reputation for developing goalkeepers, improving defensive organisation, and introducing modern methods of coaching. His experience at the highest level of the game is expected to be a major boost for Ghana as the national team prepares for upcoming assignments, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and future continental competitions.

Gaspar’s anticipated appointment signals the Black Stars’ desire to strengthen every department of the team with proven expertise and international know-how. His close understanding of Queiroz’s philosophy should also ensure a smooth transition as the new era begins.

For Ghana’s goalkeepers, the arrival of Gaspar could provide fresh guidance, sharper competition, and the technical support needed to perform consistently on the big stage.
