Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as head coach of Ghana's national team for an unspecified period, just two months after resigning following the West African side's World Cup campaign.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed on Wednesday that the 73-year-old Portuguese tactician will “begin a new coaching tenure, starting from the upcoming international break.”
“The GFA believes Queiroz's vast international experience, technical expertise, and understanding of the Black Stars make him well-equipped to lead the team in this new chapter,” the association's statement said.
The former coach of Iran, Portugal, Colombia, and Egypt helped Ghana qualify for the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup despite having only a few months to prepare for the tournament.
Ghana went without a coach for 72 days before the World Cup began after parting ways with Otto Addo following friendly defeats to Austria and Germany in March. Queiroz was appointed in April and fulfilled his mission of guiding the team past the group stage before being eliminated by Colombia.
According to the schedule, Ghana will have two home-and-away matches against Ivory Coast in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers during the international window from September 21 to October 6.
Queiroz previously led Portugal to the round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup, then guided Iran at the last three World Cups, securing three victories in 13 matches.
Born in Mozambique, the former goalkeeper has coaching experience in Egypt, Japan, Colombia, South Africa, and previously managed Portugal in the early 1990s.
