Ghana: Announced leaving, Queiroz remains at the helm of the Black Stars

Carlos Queiroz ended rumors of his departure by stating: 'I am still the coach of the Black Stars and I have not resigned.' The confusion was triggered by a social media message in which the Portuguese coach thanked Ghanaian fans after Ghana's elimination in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup (a 1-0 loss to Colombia). Former Ghana Football Association president Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe advocates for keeping the 73-year-old coach for continuity.
