Black Stars Coach Carlos Queiroz Sacked by FA
FA and Queiroz part ways after mutual contract termination amid 2026 World Cup build-up.
The Ghana Football Association and Carlos Queiroz have ended their working relationship. Queiroz, who coached the Black Stars unsuccessfully, parted ways with the FA. Both sides agreed to terminate his contract. He cited unmet development goals and Ghanaian football needs as key factors.
Queiroz thanked the FA, its leadership, and staff for their support during his tenure. He specifically mentioned preparations for the 2026 World Cup. His exit follows poor results and player development hurdles that prevented progress toward his stated mission of strengthening Ghanaian football.
He urged continued fan support for the current squad, highlighting available talent. "Believe in these players. Protect them. Support them," he wrote. He emphasized Ghana's priority, placing national football interests above all else before concluding with "Thank you, Ghana. To the Future."
His departure leaves a vacancy ahead of crucial World Cup preparations. The FA will appoint an interim coach while seeking a permanent replacement. Players now face uncertain international fixtures under new leadership.
The Black Stars must quickly stabilize after this coaching shock. Fans hope the next technical director can deliver on promised development. Ghana's football future hinges on resolving this leadership gap swiftly.
