Ghana FA to assess Carlos Queiroz’s future after 2026 World Cup

The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has hinted that the FA will review the performance of Carlos Queiroz after the 2026 World Cup.

The veteran Portuguese trainer has been appointed on a short-term basis, replacing Otto Addo, who was sacked after back-to-back defeats against Austria and Germany in pre-World Cup friendly games.

With the former Egypt and Iran head coach set to lead the Black Stars to the Mundial, Asante Twum has revealed that his performance will be reviewed after the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

“Carlos Queiroz will lead the Black Stars until the end of the World Cup. After that, the FA will review how things turn out and decide whether to keep him or part ways,” he told Asempa FM.

Asante Twum also hinted that the 72-year-old has already started working.

“Carlos Queiroz has already begun work on the Black Stars and is expected in Ghana in the coming days,” Asante Twum added.

Queiroz will meet the Black Stars squad next month during their international friendly against Mexico, before concluding preparations with a final tune-up match against Wales on June 2.

Ghana, preparing for its fifth World Cup appearance, has been drawn in Group L of the tournament, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.

After back-to-back group phase eliminations in 2014 and 2022 in Brazil and Qatar, Carlos Queiroz will aim to guide the Black Stars to leave a positive mark at the global showpiece.
