The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz will soon arrive in the country for his official unveiling.
GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum revealed that the experienced Portuguese tactician is expected in Ghana in the coming days, where he will formally present his vision for the Ghana national football team.
Queiroz, who has previously managed the Egypt national football team, Colombia national football team, and Oman national football team, has been handed a short-term contract to lead Ghana into the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
The 73-year-old coach replaces Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties in March following consecutive friendly defeats to the Austria national football team and the Germany national football team.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Asante Twum explained that the unveiling will give the public and media an opportunity to hear directly from the new coach about his plans for the team.
“In the next few days, Carlos Queiroz will arrive in Ghana to be properly unveiled, where he will personally tell us his plans, expectations and ambitions for the team,” he said.
“We have only made his statement to us public, but he will be unveiled and made available to the press to answer questions, and then we will make progress from there,” Asante Twum added.
Queiroz is expected to begin working with the squad next month, starting with an international friendly against the Mexico national football team before concluding preparations with another match against the Wales national football team on June 2.
Ghana, preparing for their fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, have been drawn in a tough group alongside the Panama national football team, England national football team, and Croatia national football team.
The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Panama on June 17 before facing England and Croatia in their remaining group-stage fixtures.
After early exits at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Queiroz faces the challenge of rebuilding confidence within the squad and guiding Ghana to a stronger performance on the global stage.
