Jordan Football Association President Prince: Carlos Queiroz has announced his decision to quit as Ghana's head coach a day after the team was eliminated by Colombia from the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The 73-year-old Portuguese was appointed on a four-month contract 10 weeks before the start of the World Cup after the Ghana Football Association parted ways with former coach Otto Addo. Queiroz led Ghana in five matches, recording one win, two draws and two defeats. During that period, the Black Stars scored three goals and conceded three.
In a farewell message on his official Facebook page, Queiroz said he was leaving the job with pride. "Football, like life, teaches us one timeless lesson; you either win or you learn. I leave this journey with pride in what we achieved but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who wanted more," wrote Queiroz. "I leave this journey with pride in what we achieved, but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who always wanted more. Reaching a higher level should never be the destination—it should be the beginning of even greater ambitions."
