Overview
- The Ghana Football Association reached an agreement with the 73-year-old coach after talks with the Ministry of Sports, announcing the deal on Wednesday.
- The appointment is interim or for an indeterminate period and begins with the September 21–October 6 international window, covering Ghana’s AFCON qualifying trip to Ivory Coast on September 23–24.
- The GFA said it chose the returning coach because of his extensive international experience and existing knowledge of the Black Stars rather than appointing a long-term successor right now.
- Queiroz was first hired in April to replace Otto Addo, led Ghana to the 2026 World Cup round of 32, and publicly resigned after the team’s knockout loss to Colombia in July.
- His rapid return forces a short turnaround for selection, training and tactics, and the next two weeks will shape Ghana’s squad and approach for the opening AFCON qualifiers.
