👨‍🏫Ghana have a manager: Queiroz to return at a World Cup | OneFootball

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) officially announced on Monday the appointment of Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the "Black Stars." At 73, the experienced Portuguese manager will take over on an interim basis with an ambitious goal: to match or surpass the quarterfinal run achieved in 2010. This will be the fifth World Cup for the former Real Madrid coach.

African experience and an urgent replacement

Queiroz’s arrival comes after the dismissal of Otto Addo, whose tenure ended abruptly following heavy defeats to Austria and Germany. The GFA chose the Portuguese coach from among more than 600 applicants, prioritizing his deep knowledge of African football after his spells with Egypt and South Africa. His reputation as a meticulous strategist was key in putting him ahead of other candidates such as Paulo Bento.

The road to Group L

With little time before his debut, Queiroz will face two major tests against Mexico and Wales in May and June. Ghana will begin their World Cup campaign on June 17 against Panama, before taking on powerhouses such as England and Croatia.
