Overview
- Keane made the remarks on Thursday during ITV’s England coverage, saying there were “huge question marks” over Queiroz as a manager and that the coach had the “personality of a dead fish.”
- Carlos Queiroz remains Ghana’s head coach after his April appointment and will lead the Black Stars into a Group L game with England on June 23.
- Queiroz has defended naming Thomas Partey in the squad, and Partey has pleaded not guilty to seven rape charges and one sexual assault charge with a trial due next year.
- Keane warned that Queiroz’s strength is his defensive approach and said he hoped Ghana would not adopt an overly defensive style for the tournament.
- The exchange raises fresh questions about coaching reputation and squad ethics that could shape media attention, Ghana’s public relations and how often Partey plays at the World Cup.
