I don’t think Carlos Queiroz has resigned – Assistant Black Stars coach

Black Stars assistant coach Roger De Sa has suggested that Carlos Queiroz remains in charge of Ghana’s national team despite reports that the Portuguese coach has stepped away from his role.

Queiroz took over from Otto Addo on a short-term basis ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and guided the Black Stars during their campaign, which ended with elimination at the Round of 32 stage.

Following Ghana’s exit from the tournament, the experienced coach appeared to hint at his departure in a social media post, saying he was leaving his position “with pride”.

However, the 73-year-old later indicated in a social media interview that he had not officially resigned from his role.

De Sa, who joined Ghana’s technical team ahead of the World Cup, said he had not received any official communication confirming that Queiroz had left the Black Stars.

“I don’t know if that’s official [that he has left], I have only seen it on social media. But I don’t think that is from him because he would have told me if that’s the case,” De Sa said in an interview with KickOff.

Ghana endured a mixed campaign at the 2026 World Cup, beginning with a 1-0 victory over Panama before securing a goalless draw against England.

The Black Stars ended their Group L campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Croatia, finishing third in the group.

Their tournament came to an end in the Round of 32 after a narrow 1-0 loss to Colombia.

With their World Cup journey concluded, Ghana will now turn attention to the qualification campaign for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars have been placed in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, Somalia and The Gambia, with qualifiers scheduled to begin in September.
