GFA, Queiroz mutually terminate contract

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and Carlos Queiroz have mutually decided to end their professional relationship, following a discussion carried out with respect for each other. This decision, although not an easy one, was made with the best interests of Ghana, the Black Stars, and Ghanaian football in mind, according to a statement from the FA.

Queiroz released a statement confirming the earlier decision and expressing gratitude to Ghanaians for their support. The termination came after the Black Stars' disappointing performances against The Gambia and Ivory Coast in AFCON 2027 qualifiers and a previous match. The Ghana Football Association thanked Queiroz for his commitment, professionalism, and dedication, acknowledging his efforts in building a stronger future for the national team and supporting the development of Ghanaian talent.

Queiroz, in turn, expressed his honor in serving Ghana and the Black Stars, thanking the Ghana Football Association and its President for their trust and the opportunity to lead the national team. Despite their best efforts, the team's recent performance added to the decision of ending the professional relationship. Queiroz praised the players' courage, commitment, and pride, commending them for fighting for their country and carrying the hopes of millions.
