‘If my resignation will be the solution for Ghana football, I’d be the first to resign’ – Carlos Queiroz
Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has revealed that he would be willing to resign from his position if the Ghana Football Association (GFA) believes his departure would provide a solution to the country’s football problems.
In a post-match press conference following Ghana's 4-2 loss to The Gambia in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, head coach Carlos Queiroz expressed his willingness to resign if the Ghana Football Association (GFA) believed it to be the right course of action. The defeat, which came at Accra Sports Stadium, marked the second successive loss for the Black Stars in Group C. Despite controlling the game initially, Ghana allowed The Gambia to score four unanswered goals and end Ghana's continental tournament aspirations.
Queiroz, who was reappointed by the GFA earlier this month, cited his international experience and knowledge of the team when confirming his new position. However, he left the decision of his future to the federation, emphasizing that if his resignation would be the solution for Ghana football, he would be the first to resign. Following the match, Ghana found themselves without a single point from their first two Group C games, with their previous defeat coming against Côte d’Ivoire.
The latest loss is particularly damaging as Ghana had hoped to secure a return to the continental tournament. Queiroz had previously called for an attacking performance and urged supporters to back the players. However, the current situation leaves the Black Stars facing a challenging path in their quest to qualify for the 2027 tournament.
The GFA now bears the responsibility of deciding Queiroz's future, while Ghana must regroup and find a way to revive their qualifying campaign in the remaining fixtures.
