Ghana Part Ways with Coach Queiroz After Poor Start to AFCON Qualifiers
The Ghana Football Association said Queiroz leaves after two Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeats and a 1-4-2 record in seven matches.
- On Thursday, the Ghana Football Association and head coach Carlos Queiroz mutually agreed to terminate his contract, ending his second tenure with the Black Stars.
- The GFA reappointed Queiroz on September 2, 2026, following his successful initial mandate that guided the Black Stars to the World Cup knockout stages for the first time since 2010.
- Consecutive Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeats—a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast and 4-2 home defeat to Gambia—left the Black Stars at the bottom of Group C without a point.
- The federation is searching for a new coach before the Black Stars resume competitive play against Somalia in November to salvage their struggling qualifying campaign.
- In his farewell statement, Queiroz noted "the necessary conditions were not fully established," signaling mutual recognition that a leadership change was required to reverse recent struggles.
