The Ghana Football Association has appointed Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars.
The experienced former Real Madrid, Manchester United, Portugal, and Iran coach is expected to lead Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Queiroz brings a strong World Cup pedigree to the role. He previously helped South Africa qualify for the 2002 tournament, guided Portugal to the knockout stage in 2010, and led Iran at both the 2014 and 2018 editions.
He has also managed national teams and clubs across Egypt, Oman, Japan, and Qatar.
He is expected to begin work immediately, focusing on preparations for the global tournament, which kicks off on June 11, 2026.
Ghana will open its group-stage campaign against Panama on June 17, 2026, in Toronto, before taking on England and Croatia in the remaining Group matches.
