The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reached an agreement with Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz for him to continue as head coach of the Black Stars.
The development follows the expiration of Queiroz’s previous mandate, which included leading Ghana at the recently concluded FIFA World Cup.
According to the GFA, negotiations involving Queiroz, the Association and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation have resulted in a new coaching agreement.
The new mandate will take effect from the next international window.
The GFA said Queiroz’s extensive international experience, technical expertise and familiarity with the Black Stars were key factors in the decision to retain him.
“The GFA believes Queiroz’s extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars position him strongly to lead the team into this next chapter,” the Association said in a statement on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
The Association did not disclose the duration of the new agreement or other contractual details.
It said further information on Queiroz’s mandate and the Black Stars’ upcoming programme would be communicated in due course.
Queiroz is now expected to begin preparations for Ghana’s next international assignments as the GFA looks to build on the team’s recent campaign and establish a new phase of stability and progress on the international stage.
