Ghana appoints Queiroz as Black Stars coach for 2026 World Cup campaign

Ghana have appointed Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Ghana Football Association parted ways with Otto Addo last month following disappointing results against Germany and Austria, though the GFA did not specify the length of Queiroz's contract.

Queiroz, who will be participating in his fifth World Cup as manager, leads Ghana into Group L alongside Panama, England and defending runners-up Croatia. The Black Stars open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 18, 2026.

This appointment comes at a critical time for Ghanaian football as the team seeks to rebound from recent underwhelming performances. Queiroz brings extensive international experience having coached teams at multiple World Cups, though his specific contract terms with the GFA remain undisclosed. The tough group stage draw means Ghana will need strong performances early to advance.

Given Queiroz's pedigree and the competitive nature of Group L, does this appointment give you confidence in Ghana's World Cup prospects, or are you skeptical about their chances against established powers like England and Croatia?
