Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as the coach of the Ghana national football team two months after resigning from the role. He stepped down following Ghana's elimination in the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup, where the team faced Colombia, having had limited time to prepare for the tournament.

Reports indicate that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed Queiroz's return for an interim period. His previous stint saw him lead the Black Stars through a challenging World Cup qualification and the tournament itself, but he ultimately decided to leave the position after the team's exit.

Queiroz, who has also managed national teams such as Iran, Portugal, Colombia, and Egypt, was originally appointed as Ghana's coach just months before the World Cup. Despite the short preparation time, he managed to guide the team through crucial qualifying matches and into the tournament.

His departure came as a surprise to many, considering his experience and the potential shown by the team. Since resigning, there has been a significant focus on the future of the Ghanaian national team, with many stakeholders expressing interest in stability following the World Cup.

The reappointment has sparked discussions about the direction of the team moving forward, especially as Queiroz steps back into a familiar role. Observers of Ghanaian football are keen to see how his leadership will impact the upcoming fixtures and the overall performance of the squad.

Queiroz's experience in international football is viewed as an asset, and his previous success with different national teams has led to expectations for improvement in the performance of the Black Stars. The GFA's decision to bring him back underscores their confidence in his ability to lead the team during this transitional phase.
