Accra: The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has hinted that the FA will review the performance of Carlos Queiroz after the 2026 World Cup. The veteran Portuguese trainer has been appointed on a short-term basis, replacing Otto Addo, who was dismissed following consecutive defeats against Austria and Germany in pre-World Cup friendly games.
According to Ghana Web, Asante Twum disclosed that Queiroz's performance will be evaluated after the tournament, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. 'Carlos Queiroz will lead the Black Stars until the end of the World Cup. After that, the FA will review how things turn out and decide whether to keep him or part ways,' he informed Asempa FM.
Asante Twum also mentioned that the 72-year-old coach has already begun his duties. 'Carlos Queiroz has already begun work on the Black Stars and is expected in Ghana in the coming days,' Asante Twum added. Queiroz will meet the Black Stars squad next month during their international friendly against Mexico, before wrapping up preparations with a final tune-up match against Wales on June 2.
Ghana is gearing up for its fifth World Cup appearance and has been placed in Group L of the tournament. The Black Stars will commence their campaign against Panama on June 17, followed by matches against England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27. After previous group phase exits in 2014 and 2022 in Brazil and Qatar, Queiroz aims to lead the Black Stars to make a significant impact on the world stage.
