Revealed: Carlos Queiroz resigned from Black Stars job; he wasn’t sacked
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced the decision to mutually part ways with the Portuguese trainer on October 1, with Queiroz leaving the role after just four months in charge of the national team.
Carlos Queiroz ended his tenure as head coach of the Black Stars after just four months, rather than being removed by the Ghana Football Association. The decision came following Ghana’s underwhelming start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Queiroz tendered his resignation on the day after Ghana’s loss to The Gambia, citing concerns over working conditions, training arrangements, accommodation, and perceived interference in team selection as reasons for his departure.
He had planned to arrive in Ghana 10 days prior to the team’s camp but only managed to get there two days before, as his flight was not booked in advance. Queiroz also expressed dissatisfaction with staying at the African Regent Hotel, as opposed to his preferred Kempinski Hotel, due to previous outstanding debts. Additionally, he wanted more control over the team’s technical staff, including his own doctor, nutritionist, and team manager, but was only permitted to hire his own nutritionist.
Despite these grievances, his resignation was mutually agreed upon by Queiroz and the GFA, marking the end of his brief stint as head coach of Ghana’s national team.
