Ghana FA Parts Ways with Coach Carlos Queiroz After Losses

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has terminated the contract of head coach Carlos Queiroz after the Black Stars suffered defeats in their first two matches of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The GFA's statement confirmed Queiroz's departure following a disappointing home loss to Gambia, where Ghana led 2-0 but ultimately lost 4-2.

This result intensified the pressure on Ghana's qualification hopes. Queiroz, who took over the Black Stars in June, had a brief tenure that included only a friendly against Wales before the team participated in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they reached the Round of 32.

Despite initially indicating a desire to leave, he agreed to continue for the qualifiers after discussions with the GFA. His record during his time in charge was one win, two draws, and four losses, with the only victory against Panama during the World Cup.
