The Ghana Football Association has reportedly hired Carlos Queiroz on a short-term deal to lead the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. More details about his appointment are now coming out.

The experienced Portuguese coach is said to have signed a four-month contract worth about $100,000 per month. After the World Cup, the deal will be reviewed, and a longer contract could be offered if Ghana performs well.

Queiroz is joining at an important time, as the GFA seeks experience and stability after a tough period for the national team. His track record of guiding teams through change and building strong, disciplined squads was a major factor in his selection.

He is said to have been chosen over several well-known candidates. The association trusts his calm approach, leadership, and tactical skills to help steady the Black Stars before the tournament.

Ghana will be the fifth national team Queiroz has coached at the World Cup. He has previously managed Portugal and Iran at several tournaments.

With little time to prepare, the focus is now on how quickly he can bring structure, confidence, and teamwork to the squad.

Ghana is in a tough group with England, Croatia, and Panama. The Black Stars hope to make a bigger impact on the world stage this time.
