Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has suggested that Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz could be handed a contract extension after Ghana’s campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The 73-year-old Portuguese tactician was appointed in April after Otto Addo was dismissed in March following defeats to Austria and Germany.
Queiroz has enjoyed a promising start to life with the four-time African champions, guiding Ghana to a victory over Panama and a goalless draw against England in their opening two matches at the tournament.
Speaking to Citi Sports, Adams acknowledged the growing calls from Ghanaians for Queiroz to remain in charge but insisted that the team’s immediate priority is the World Cup.
“Well, surely it’s something that we will be looking at, and if you listen to many persons across the country, even before the ministry spoke or even the FA said anything, Ghanaians are already giving the indication that we should keep him for some time,” he said.
“But let’s finish this project. We have the World Cup project ahead of us.
“Let’s finish this and, like we said before we came here, that when we finish this project, we can then make decisions about the future of anybody,” Adams added.
The Black Stars currently sit second in Group L on four points, level with England after two matches.
Queiroz and his players will conclude their group-stage campaign against Croatia on Saturday at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, with a place in the knockout stages at stake.
