Carlos Queiroz leaves Ghana job for second time in three months

Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as head coach of the Ghana national football team, marking his second departure from the role within a three-month period. The Portuguese manager and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) mutually agreed to terminate his contract following a difficult return to the Black Stars that included consecutive defeats and a poor start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifications.

Following the confirmation of his departure, Queiroz expressed sentiments of respect, gratitude, and pride regarding his time with the team. His exit leaves the Ghana Football Association searching for new leadership as they look to recover from their recent setbacks in the ongoing AFCON qualifying campaign.
