It's a privilege and honour to be part of Ghana football - Carlos Queiroz
Carlos Queiroz described his appointment as head coach of Ghana national football team as both a privilege and a deeply personal milestone. He said, "To be part of Ghana's sports and family is a privilege and honour for me." He also said leading Ghana, "an African country, to the World Cup is unforgettable and a memory in my life."
The 73-year-old replaces Otto Addo on a short-term four-month contract and is tasked with leading Ghana to the 2026 FIFA World Cup later this year. Queiroz was officially unveiled on Thursday in Accra at the Alisa Hotel, shortly after being introduced to the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, at the Sports Ministry. Ghana, making their fifth appearance at the global showpiece, face England national football team, Croatia national football team and Panama national football team in Group L.
The Black Stars open their campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27. Expectations are mounting for a stronger performance this time, with Queiroz charged with guiding the four-time African champions beyond the early stages.
