Queiroz leaves Ghana job after World Cup run

Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as Ghana head coach following the Black Stars' elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The 73-year-old confirmed his departure on Instagram Sunday, writing: "Football, like life, teaches us one timeless lesson: you either win or you learn." He praised the team for restoring "respect and credibility" to the Black Stars on football's biggest stage, but stressed that future success must be built off the pitch with better structures to develop Ghana's extraordinary talent pool. Queiroz departs after guiding Ghana to the Round of 32 as one of the best third-place finishers, their deepest World Cup run since 2010 (1).
