  "account": "Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as head coach of Ghana's national football team. The 73-year-old, who previously managed Manchester United's first team and assistant team under Sir Alex Ferguson, took charge of Ghana's Black Stars in April. During his tenure, the team advanced to the last 32 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where they were eliminated by Colombia in a 1-0 defeat. Queiroz announced his own resignation on social media following the World Cup, but the Ghana Football Association (GFA) decided to extend his contract following internal deliberations. The GFA has not disclosed the duration of his new contract, but stated that he will lead the team towards a successful phase on the international stage. The GFA believes Queiroz's extensive international experience, technical prowess, and familiarity with the Black Stars make him an ideal choice to lead the team. Queiroz has previously managed Iran, Portugal, Egypt, South Africa, Colombia, and Qatar, and has also served as an assistant manager at Manchester United. The GFA will unveil further details regarding his new mandate in due course. Queiroz will commence his second term with Ghana's national team as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which commence later in the month. The Black Stars have yet to reveal the dates and venues for their opening two matches in Group C, which includes Ivory Coast, The Gambia, and Somalia.",
