Overview
- The Ghana Football Association announced Wednesday that it has reached an agreement to reappoint Carlos Queiroz as head coach of the Black Stars.
- Queiroz’s return followed talks between the GFA and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation and the new mandate starts during the upcoming international window to focus on AFCON 2027 qualifying.
- The GFA described the appointment as for the ‘upcoming period’ and has not published a fixed contract length, with several outlets calling the role interim or indeterminate.
- Queiroz, 73, led Ghana at the 2026 World Cup and the GFA cited his prior knowledge of the squad and long international coaching record as the reason for choosing continuity.
- Ghana will open qualifying with an away match against Ivory Coast in late September, host The Gambia days later, and play two fixtures versus Somalia in November that will shape their route to the 2027 tournament.
