Ghana Appoint Carlos Queiroz as Head Coach Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Ghana Football Association has officially confirmed the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the Black Stars, as preparations begin for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The announcement was made on Monday through an official statement released by the football governing body. Queiroz steps into the role following the departure of Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties in March after a disappointing run of results, including friendly defeats to Austria and Germany.

Queiroz brings a wealth of international and club-level expertise to the Ghanaian national team. Over the years, he has held high-profile coaching positions with top sides and national teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, the Portugal national team, and the Iran national team.

His immediate focus will be guiding Ghana through the build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
