Queiroz quits Ghana role after World Cup exit
Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as Ghana coach after three months in charge in the wake of the Black Stars' elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the Round of 32.
The 73-year-old, managing at his fifth consecutive FIFA World Cup, took charge in April, replacing Otto Addo, who parted ways with Ghana 72 days before the tournament.
"I leave this journey with pride in what we achieved, but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who always wanted more," Queiroz posted on Instagram.
"Reaching a higher level should never be the destination – it should be the beginning of even greater ambitions."
Ghana beat Panama and drew with England before losing to Croatia to finish third in Group L and advance as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
It then lost 1-0 to Colombia in the first knockout round.
The former Iran, Portugal and Egypt coach led Ghana in one friendly before the FIFA World Cup.
