Carlos Queiroz reappointed as Black Stars coach
According to the GFA's official website, Queiroz's reappointment came after a series of discussions involving both the association and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
The two bodies reached a consensus that the experienced coach was the right person to lead the Black Stars into their next campaign.
The GFA cited Queiroz's "extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars" as central factors in the decision to hand him a fresh mandate.
What does Queiroz bring to the table?
Queiroz is a seasoned international coach whose career has spanned multiple continents.
His familiarity with the Black Stars setup, built during his previous stint, was considered a significant advantage as Ghana moves into a new phase of competition.
The GFA did not disclose the length of the new contract or the specific targets attached to the mandate but confirmed that Queiroz would be in charge when Ghana's next international fixtures begin.
The reappointment brings clarity to the Black Stars' technical bench following the uncertainty that followed the World Cup and signals the GFA's intention to maintain continuity in the team's leadership structure.
His first assignment will be a 2027 AFCON qualifier against Cote d'Ivoire on September 23 before squaring off against The Gambia four days later.
