Gov’t, GFA to set-up technical committee to appoint Carlos Queiroz’s successor

The Ghana government and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have reached an agreement to form a technical committee, tasked with overseeing the selection of Carlos Queiroz's successor as head coach of the Black Stars. This decision came after a meeting between government officials and GFA representatives at the Sports Ministry on Friday, 2 October, in response to Ghana's poor performance in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

The Black Stars have lost both matches in Group C and have yet to secure a point, with defeats to Ghana and The Gambia in Accra. Carlos Queiroz resigned as head coach following the 4-2 loss to The Gambia. Following the meeting, it was decided that a technical committee, comprised of representatives from both the government and the GFA, would be established to manage the process of choosing the new coach.

The timing for the committee's formation and the appointment of the successor has not been disclosed. The Black Stars are set to resume their AFCON qualifying campaign next month, with two consecutive matches at the Accra Sports Stadium. The tournament hopes to see the team return to the continental stage after being absent since the 2025 edition in Morocco. The 2027 AFCON will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
