Ghana national football team have officially appointed Carlos Queiroz as their new head coach with immediate effect, following confirmation via the backstars official X account.
The 73-year-old tactician steps in after the dismissal of Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties just 72 days before the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a poor run of results.
The Black stars stated:
Carlos Queiroz appointed Head Coach of the Black Stars 🇬🇭🌟 The experienced Portuguese tactician will lead Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing vast international and World Cup experience to the senior national team.
Queiroz arrives with a wealth of international experience, having previously managed several national teams and built a reputation for tactical discipline and strong defensive organization. His appointment signals Ghana’s intent to stabilize the squad quickly ahead of the global tournament.
Softfootball understands that his immediate priority will be to tighten Ghana’s defensive structure while maintaining their attacking threat, as the Black Stars aim to regain form after a difficult spell.
With limited time before the World Cup, expectations are already rising around how quickly Queiroz can implement his philosophy and turn things around.
The focus now shifts to whether his experience can guide Ghana into becoming a competitive force once again on football’s biggest stage.
