  "account": "Carlos Queiroz, the 73-year-old Portuguese coach, has been reappointed as the head coach of Ghana’s men’s national football team, the Black Stars, by the Ghana Football Association (GFA). Queiroz returned to lead the team at this year’s FIFA World Cup, following his previous stint in charge of the Black Stars. After Ghana reached the last 32 in the tournament, Queiroz announced his departure on social media. However, after internal discussions, the GFA decided to bring him back for another term. The association did not disclose the length of his new contract, but stated that he would focus on preparing the Black Stars for a \"successful new phase on the international stage.\" The GFA praised Queiroz for his extensive international experience, technical expertise, and knowledge of the Black Stars. Queiroz has managed teams such as Iran, Portugal, Egypt, South Africa, Colombia, and Qatar, as well as spent time as assistant manager at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. His immediate task will be to prepare Ghana for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which will begin later in the month. The Black Stars are currently in Group C along with Ivory Coast, The Gambia, and Somalia for the qualifiers.",
