'I know it won’t be easy' - Tagoe-Quarcoo plans to make history with Ghana

Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo is aiming to lead Ghana to international success, including qualifying for the 2020 Africa Women's Cup of Nations and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The 42-year-old had mixed fortunes on her interim tenure with the Black Queens, having won the Wafu Women's Cup in 2018 before a third-place finish a year later, and a loss in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games qualifiers by Kenya last October.

Following her appointment as the substantive coach in January, she made history as she became the first female to handle the senior women's team and led the West Africans to a Turkish Women's Cup runners-up place in March.
