football facing broader problems …my departure won’t solve it -Queiroz

Ghana's Head Coach Carlos Queiroz has dismissed calls for his resignation in the aftermath of the African Cup of Nations qualifier loss to The Gambia. Queiroz described the match result as a "terrible result" where "everything went wrong" and insisted that quitting would be an easy solution but would not tackle the underlying issues affecting Ghanaian football.

The defeat saw the Black Stars surrender a two-goal lead and concede four goals, marking their second consecutive Group C loss. Fans directed their anger towards Queiroz and the Ghana Football Association president, Kurt Okraku, for the team's poor performance. Queiroz defended his tactics and accepted responsibility for the result, urging supporters and the media to direct their criticism at him instead of the players.

The defeat leaves Ghana with no points after two matches in the AFCON qualification, while The Gambia strengthened its position in the group with a victory.
