Carlos Queiroz Resigns as Ghana's Coach After Defeat
Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as head coach of Ghana’s Black Stars for the second time in 2026 following a 4-2 home defeat to The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that it had mutually agreed with Queiroz to terminate his contract after discussions.
This decision followed consecutive qualifying defeats to Ivory Coast and The Gambia, during which Ghana conceded six goals. Queiroz had returned to the Black Stars in April after Otto Addo's dismissal, leading the team to the last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup before resigning after their elimination by Colombia.
He re-signed on September 2, but his second tenure lasted only two matches, resulting in two losses. The GFA expressed gratitude for Queiroz's commitment and professionalism, stating that the decision to part ways was made in the best interests of Ghanaian football.
They will announce future leadership arrangements for the Black Stars.
