Queiroz Exits Ghana As Black Stars Crisis Deepens
The GFA said the veteran Portuguese coach departs after Ghana’s 4-2 loss to Gambia left the Black Stars bottom of Group C.
- On Thursday, the Ghana Football Association announced it mutually agreed to terminate head coach Carlos Queiroz's contract, marking his second departure from the Black Stars in three months.
- The decision follows Ghana's 4-2 home defeat to Gambia in an Africa Cup qualifying match, where the Black Stars surrendered a 2-0 lead at the Accra Sports Stadium despite early goals from Ernest Nuamah and Felix Afena-Gyan.
- Queiroz leaves with one win, two draws, and four defeats in seven matches, with Ghana scoring five goals and conceding 10. His turbulent five-month association began in April when the 73-year-old signed a four-month contract.
- In a statement, Queiroz said, "This was not an easy decision," adding that "the necessary conditions were not fully established." He thanked the Ghana Football Association and its President for leading the Black Stars.
- Ghana now faces an uphill challenge to qualify for the Africa Cup, sitting six points behind Ivory Coast and Gambia. This follows a down period in Ghanaian football, including missing the 2025 tournament.
