Newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has described his decision to lead Ghana as the most demanding task of his long managerial career.
The 73-year-old, who has previously managed Egypt and Portugal, was officially unveiled in Accra following the dismissal of Otto Addo in March.
His appointment comes with high expectations as Ghana prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking at his unveiling at the Alisa Hotel on Thursday, April 23, Queiroz acknowledged the scale of the task ahead but expressed confidence in his ability to deliver.
“It is an honour and a privilege to be here today,” Queiroz said.
“Since I arrived, I have started to feel it. This is the soul of the Black Stars. The soul of the Black Stars is huge, and that means our dreams and expectations are huge.
“After eight national teams and important competitions, this is the biggest challenge of my life, and I am ready for that.
“I can promise and guarantee that I will bring 40 years of my experience [to the job],” the former Manchester United assistant coach.
Ghana will be making their fifth appearance at the World Cup and have been drawn in a challenging Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama.
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.
Having exited at the group stage in both 2014 and 2022, Ghana will be aiming for a stronger showing this time around, with Queiroz tasked with guiding the four-time African champions to a more competitive run on the global stage.
