Ex-Man Utd assistant Queiroz returns as Ghana boss
Carlos Queiroz is reappointed as head coach of Ghana's men's national team, two months after he appeared to step down following their exit from the World Cup.
Carlos Queiroz, a 73-year-old former assistant manager at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, has returned as the head coach of Ghana's national football team. He previously led the Black Stars to the last 32 of the 2022 World Cup, where they lost 1-0 to Colombia. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) decided to re-engage Queiroz after internal discussions, though the length of his new contract has not been disclosed.
The GFA believes his vast international experience, technical expertise, and understanding of the Black Stars position him well to lead the team into a new phase on the global stage. Queiroz has also coached Iran, Portugal, and Egypt at major tournaments, as well as stints with South Africa, Colombia, and Qatar. His second spell with Ghana begins with the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which are scheduled to start later this month.
The Black Stars are yet to announce the dates and venues for their first two matches in Group C, which includes Ivory Coast, The Gambia, and Somalia.
