Mercy Tagoe , married Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo (also: Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoe ; born February 5, 1978 ), is a former Ghanaian soccer player and today's coach.

Career

Tagoe was used during her club career for the Bluna Ladies (1999). The defender took part with the Ghanaian national team ("Black Queens") in the 1999 World Championships and played one game. After the World Championships in 2003 Tagoe ended her playing career.

The Ghanaian began her career as a referee in 1995, and at the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup she was the main referee twice - in North Korea against New Zealand (2: 1) and Japan against England (3: 1) - and four times as fourth Officials used, including in the game for third place between South Korea and Colombia (1-0). In May 2012 Tagoe announced the end of her career as a game director due to the increasing violence against referees. After Tagoe had already been employed as an assistant coach at the second division Amidaus Professionals from Tema at the end of 2013 , the holder of an A coaching license from the CAF was promoted to head coach of the team in July 2016 and thus the first woman in the country to hold such a post.

After taking over the Ghanaian women's national team on an interim basis in 2018, she took over this role entirely in 2019.

Tagoe studied at the University of Education, Winneba , and works as a fire officer .
