  "account": "Carlos Queiroz, the 73-year-old Portuguese coach, has been re-appointed as the head coach of the Ghana national football team, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced on Wednesday. This decision comes two months after Queiroz stepped down following Ghana's World Cup campaign. The GFA highlighted Queiroz's international experience, technical expertise, and knowledge of the Black Stars as key factors in his reappointment. The experienced coach led the Black Stars to the Round of 32 at the World Cup, despite having only a limited preparation time. The GFA believes Queiroz is well-positioned to lead the team into the next phase. The GFA noted that further details regarding Queiroz's new mandate and the Black Stars' upcoming program will be revealed in due course. Ghana will participate in home and away group matches against Ivory Coast in the lead-up to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, with matches scheduled from September 21 to October 6.",
