Carlos Queiroz handed new coaching mandate by Ghana Football Association

The experienced former South Africa and Real Madrid coach was named Black Stars boss before the international competition.

He led his team to a 1-0 win over Panama, a goalless draw with England and 2-1 defeat to Croatia that saw them secure their place in the knockout rounds, where they lost 1-0 to Colombia.

Queiroz stepped away from the team as his contract came to an end, but he has now been reinstated ahead of the upcoming qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

"The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Carlos Queiroz for his appointment as Head Coach of the Black Stars for the next phase of the team's programme," read a statement.

"Queiroz's previous mandate, which included leading Ghana at the just-concluded FIFA World Cup, concluded a few weeks ago. Following discussions with the GFA and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, it was agreed that Carlos Queiroz would embark on a new coaching mandate, commencing with the upcoming international window.

"The GFA believes Queiroz's extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars position him strongly to lead the team into this next chapter.

"Further details on the new mandate and the Black Stars' upcoming programme will be announced in due course, as the GFA and Coach Queiroz turn their focus to building a successful new phase for Ghana on the international stage."
