The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz is expected in the country in the coming days for his official unveiling.
According to the GFA’s Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, arrangements are underway for the veteran tactician to formally present his vision for the senior national team following his recent appointment.
Queiroz, who has previously managed Egypt, Colombia and Oman, has been handed a short-term contract to lead Ghana into the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. The 73-year-old takes over from Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties in March after back-to-back friendly defeats to Austria and Germany.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Asante Twum disclosed that the unveiling will provide an opportunity for the former Real Madrid assistant to outline his ambitions.
“In the next few days, Carlos Queiroz will arrive in Ghana to be properly unveiled, where he will personally tell us his plans, expectations and ambitions for the team,” he said.
“We have only made his statement to us public, but he will be unveiled and made available to the press to answer questions, and then we will make progress from there,” Asante Twum added.
The Portuguese coach is expected to begin working directly with the squad next month, starting with an international friendly against Mexico. Preparations will then continue with a final test against Wales on June 2.
Ghana, preparing for their fifth appearance at the World Cup, have been drawn in Group L. The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.
After successive group-stage exits in Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022, Queiroz faces the challenge of restoring belief and guiding the team to a more competitive showing on football’s biggest stage.
