Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as head coach of Ghana's men's national team. The 73-year-old, who had two spells as assistant manager at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, took charge of the Black Stars in April and led the side to the last 32 at this year's Fifa World Cup, where they were beaten 1-0 by Colombia.

Queiroz appeared to announce his own departure on social media shortly after that defeat, but the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has decided to re-engage him for another spell in charge following internal discussions. The GFA has not announced the length of his new deal but said he will prepare the team for "a successful new phase on the international stage".

The GFA believes Queiroz's extensive international experience, technical expertise and knowledge of the Black Stars position him strongly to lead the team into this next chapter. Queiroz has previously led Iran, Portugal and Egypt at major tournaments and has had stints in charge of South Africa, Colombia and Qatar.

Queiroz said the chance to continue in the role gave him "immense pride and honour". He will begin his second spell with qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana are drawn alongside Ivory Coast, The Gambia and Somalia.
