The Ghana Football Association says it will evaluate the future of newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Communications Director Henry Asante Twum disclosed that the Portuguese tactician has been given a short-term mandate to lead Ghana through the global tournament, with a decision on his long-term future to be made afterward.
Queiroz, 72, replaces Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties following consecutive defeats to Austria and Germany in pre-World Cup friendlies.
“Carlos Queiroz will lead the Black Stars until the end of the World Cup. After that, the FA will review how things turn out and decide whether to keep him or part ways,” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
He also revealed that the former Egypt and Iran coach has already begun work behind the scenes and is expected to arrive in Ghana in the coming days.
“Carlos Queiroz has already begun work on the Black Stars and is expected in Ghana in the coming days,” Asante Twum added.
Queiroz is set to meet his squad next month ahead of an international friendly against Mexico, before rounding off preparations with a final warm-up game against Wales on June 2.
Ghana will be making its fifth appearance at the World Cup and has been drawn in Group L of the tournament, which will be staged across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama on June 17, before taking on England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.
Having suffered group-stage exits in both the 2014 tournament in Brazil and the 2022 edition in Qatar, Queiroz faces the immediate challenge of guiding Ghana to a stronger performance on football’s biggest stage.
