Carlos Queiroz re-appointed as Ghana's Electoral Commissioner two months after leaving office

Carlos Queiroz, a Portuguese football coach, has been reappointed as the head coach of Ghana's national team indefinitely, two months after stepping down following their participation in the World Cup. This experienced coach previously led teams from Iran, Portugal, Colombia, and Egypt. Despite having only a few months to prepare the Ghanaian squad for the tournament, he guided them to the Round of 16. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) stated that Queiroz’s extensive international experience, expertise, and knowledge of 'Black Stars' (Ghana's nickname) make him well-suited to lead the team into a new era. During the upcoming international break, which runs from September 21 to October 6, Ghana will play qualification matches for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 against Cape Verde at home and away.

Carlos Queiroz, the Portuguese national team coach, has been reappointed as the head coach of Ghana for an indefinite period, two months after he stepped down following the country’s participation in the FIFA World Cup. The decision was announced by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Wednesday, marking a swift return to his role ahead of the next international break. Queiroz, who previously coached teams from Iran, Portugal, Colombia, and Egypt, guided Ghana to the Round of 32 at the World Cup despite having only a few months to prepare the squad for the competition. His tenure ended after the tournament, as he stepped down following the conclusion of the campaign. However, the GFA has now confirmed his reinstatement, stating that he will begin a new mandate starting with the upcoming international window. The GFA highlighted Queiroz’s extensive international experience, technical expertise, and deep understanding of the “Black Stars”, Ghana’s national team, as key factors in his reappointment. In a statement, the association noted that these qualities position him well to lead the team into a new phase of development. Ghana is set to participate in the qualification process for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, during which it will face Ivory Coast in home-and-away group matches. These fixtures are scheduled to take place between September 21 and October 6, according to the GFA’s announcement. Queiroz’s return comes after a brief hiatus, during which he had been absent from the coaching role. The GFA did not provide further details on the specifics of his new mandate beyond confirming its start date and purpose. The association also emphasized that additional information regarding the team’s future plans will be released in due course. Queiroz, born in Mozambique, has a long history in international football, including stints as a player and coach with multiple nations. He led Portugal to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup and later coached Iran in the last three editions of the tournament, securing three victories in 13 matches. His coaching career has spanned several countries, including Egypt, Japan, Colombia, and South Africa, with notable achievements in both domestic and international competitions.
