Azumah Bugre knew that change was inevitable, but she also knew that embracing it was the key to success. As the Black Queens welcomed Kim Lars Bjorkegren as their new head coach, the midfielder was determined to adapt quickly to his unique tactical approach.

Bjorkegren’s debut may have ended in a narrow defeat, but Bugre remained optimistic. She recognized that his coaching philosophy was different from what the team had experienced before, yet she saw promise in the new methods.

“I think he comes in with something different, but it’s quite good,” Bugre said confidently. “Not just me, but my teammates as well—we’re all working hard to adapt.”

The transition wasn’t without challenges, but communication and teamwork made the process smoother. Bugre emphasized the importance of understanding each other on and off the pitch, believing that their ability to clarify doubts and align with the coach’s vision would pay off.

With the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) fast approaching, Bugre and her teammates are focused on fine-tuning their play under Bjorkegren. Drawn into a competitive Group C with South Africa, Mali, and Tanzania, the Black Queens are determined to make their mark.

For Bugre, this is more than just a tactical shift—it’s an opportunity for growth, resilience, and proving that Ghana’s women’s football is ready for the next level.
