Carlos Queiroz has been appointed as the new head coach of Ghana's national football team, the Black Stars, on an interim basis. His goal is to match or exceed the team's quarterfinal achievement from the 2010 World Cup.
👨🏫Ghana have a manager: Queiroz to return at a World Cup
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) officially announced on Monday the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the "Black Stars." At 73, the experienced Portuguese manager will take over on an interim basis with an ambitious goal: to match or surpass the quarterfinal run achieved in 2010. This will be the fifth World Cup for the former Real Madrid coach.
Queiroz’s arrival comes after the dismissal of Otto Addo, whose tenure ended abruptly following heavy defeats to Austria and Germany. The GFA chose the Portuguese coach from among more than 600 applicants, prioritizing his deep knowledge of African football after his spells with Egypt and South Africa. His reputation as a meticulous strategist was key in putting him ahead of other candidates such as Paulo Bento.
With little time before his debut, Queiroz will face two major tests against Mexico and Wales in May and June. Ghana will begin their World Cup campaign on June 17 against Panama, before taking on powerhouses such as England and Croatia.
