The Ghana Football Association has agreed a new contract with Carlos Queiroz, extending the 73-year-old coach's stay after Ghana reached the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Queiroz's initial four-month appointment expired after Ghana were eliminated by Colombia in the Round of 32.
The reappointment followed talks involving the GFA, the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, and the Portuguese coach.
Queiroz described coaching Ghana as a privilege, responsibility and a mission to honour the nation’s football status.
Veteran coach Carlos Queiroz will remain the head coach of Ghana's national team after agreeing a new contract with the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The move follows Ghana's campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Black Stars reached the Round of 32 and were eliminated by Colombia.
In his first public comments after agreeing the extension, Queiroz framed the job as more than coaching. He said continuing as Ghana coach brought pride and honour, and described serving Ghana as a privilege, a responsibility and a mission to honour one of Africa's major football nations.
Expect the GFA to release the contract length and further logistical details soon. Subsequent areas to monitor include any changes to the coaching staff, public plans for upcoming qualifiers or tournaments, and how the federation outlines the team's objectives under Queiroz moving forward.
