Queiroz leaves Ghana post by mutual agreement after winless qualifying start

Ghana has parted ways with head coach Carlos Queiroz by mutual agreement after two straight defeats in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

• The Ghana Football Association announced the mutual termination of Queiroz's contract two days after the Black Stars' home defeat to Gambia.
• Queiroz said recent results contributed to the decision and that talks were held in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
• Ghana lost both opening qualifiers, 0-2 to Ivory Coast and 2-4 to Gambia, leaving the Black Stars bottom of Group 3 without a point.
• Queiroz, 73, took charge in April for the 2026 World Cup, where Ghana reached the round of 32 before losing to Colombia.
• The Ghana Football Association said it would announce new technical arrangements in due course and is seeking a new coach before the Black Stars' November qualifier against Somalia.
