'Believe In These Players' – Queiroz' Parting Call To Ghanaian Fans
Ex Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz ends tenure with a plea for public support of the team.
Former Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz announced his departure from the Ghana Football Association on Thursday, October 1, after two winless qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Queiroz was relieved of his duties just days after a 4-2 loss to Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium, a result that left the senior team without points in their qualifying group. The defeat sparked mounting criticism and placed intense scrutiny on his methods and the team’s performance.
In his farewell statement, he urged Ghanaians to rally behind the players, highlighting their potential and need for unity. He emphasized that continued encouragement could help the squad deliver future successes for the nation.
The coach also took the opportunity to express gratitude to supporters, acknowledging their passion and loyalty during his tenure.
Earlier results against Cote d’Ivoire and the Gambia placed Ghana at the bottom of their qualifying group, heightening pressure on the technical team.
The next phase will involve a new coaching appointment and a critical set of fixtures aimed at revitalizing the team’s campaign.
