Black Stars assistant coach Roger De Sa has suggested that Carlos Queiroz remains the head coach of Ghana’s senior national team despite speculation surrounding the Portuguese trainer’s future following the team’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Queiroz appeared to hint at his departure after Ghana’s World Cup campaign ended with a Round of 32 defeat to Colombia, with the experienced coach stating in a social media post that he was leaving his role “with pride”.
However, the 73-year-old later indicated in a social media interview that he had not officially resigned from his position after taking charge of the Black Stars on a short-term agreement following Otto Addo’s exit.
De Sa, who joined Ghana’s technical team ahead of the tournament, said he had not received any official communication confirming that Queiroz had stepped down and questioned reports suggesting otherwise.
“I don’t know if that’s official [that he has left]. I have only seen it on social media. But I don’t think that is from him because he would have told me if that’s the case,” De Sa said in an interview with KickOff.
Queiroz was appointed to lead Ghana’s technical team for the World Cup campaign, where the Black Stars recorded mixed results in Group L.
Ghana opened the tournament with a narrow 1-0 victory over Panama before securing a goalless draw against England. They ended the group stage with a 2-1 defeat to Croatia, finishing third in the group but advancing to the knockout stage.
The four-time African champions were later eliminated in the Round of 32 after a 1-0 defeat to Colombia.
With the World Cup campaign now over, Ghana will shift focus to the qualification process for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, Somalia and The Gambia, with the qualifiers scheduled to begin in September.
