In a significant move just 72 days before the FIFA World Cup kicks off, the Ghana Football Association has appointed veteran Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the national team, the Black Stars. This decision follows a string of disappointing results in recent friendly matches against Austria and Germany, which led to the dismissal of Otto Addo.
Queiroz, a seasoned tactician with a career spanning multiple continents, brings a wealth of experience to the Ghanaian dugout. His appointment marks his fifth consecutive World Cup appearance as a head coach, having previously led Portugal, Iran, and Oman. His coaching journey also includes stints with the UAE, South Africa, Colombia, Egypt, and Qatar, as well as notable club roles with Sporting CP and Real Madrid, and as assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
The timing of the appointment underscores the urgency for Ghana to regroup and build momentum ahead of the global tournament. Queiroz's task will be to instill a winning mentality and tactical discipline in the squad as they prepare to face Croatia, England, and Panama in Group L. His vast experience and proven track record offer a glimmer of hope for Ghanaian football fans eager to see their team perform well on the world stage.
The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association, in consultation with all key stakeholders, has appointed Carlos Queiroz as the head coach of the senior national team, the 'Black Stars'.
