Ghana's Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz faces uncertain future after World Cup exit
Ghana were eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the round of 32 after a 1‑0 defeat to Colombia. Assistant coach Roger de Sa said the biggest challenge for the technical team was taking over a side that had lost six consecutive matches and restoring confidence before the tournament. Following the loss, de Sa confirmed that Queiroz and his backroom staff would leave their roles.
Former GFA communications director Ibrahim Sannie Daara later questioned whether Queiroz could remain in charge, pointing to a salary exceeding $150,000 and a large support staff as financial hurdles. Daara quoted the coach’s post‑tournament statement as suggesting a farewell, but the Ghana Football Association has not issued an official announcement.
The speculation highlights uncertainty over the future leadership of the Black Stars as the nation reflects on its World Cup performance.
