My resignation will not solve Ghana football problems – Carlos Queiroz after humiliating loss to The Gambia
Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz says his resignation would not by itself change the fortunes of Ghana football.

Ghana's head coach Carlos Queiroz has stated that his resignation would not solve the country's football problems. This comes after Ghana's humiliating loss to The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, which saw The Gambia triumph 4-2 at the Accra Sports Stadium. Despite Ghana taking a two-goal lead early on, The Gambia fought back to secure all three points, leaving Ghana without a point from their opening two Group C matches.
Ghana had begun their campaign with a 2-0 defeat against Côte d’Ivoire last Thursday. Queiroz admitted that resigning might seem like the simplest answer to a disappointing result, but he did not believe his departure would tackle the broader issues affecting Ghana football. "If you think that the coach's resignation can change the situation of football in Ghana, I will be the first one to resign," Queiroz said.
However, he emphasized that it is up to the board of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to decide on such a matter. The loss intensifies Ghana's challenge to regain their qualification campaign momentum and secure a spot at the 2027 AFCON tournament. Ghana missed the 2025 AFCON in Morocco after failing to qualify for the first time in over two decades.
Ghana will resume qualifying action in October with a double header against Somalia at the Accra Sports Stadium.
