Carlos Queiroz resigns as Black Stars coach after Ghana's World Cup exit

Carlos Queiroz has resigned as the head coach of Ghana's senior national football team, the Black Stars, following the team's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Ghana exited the tournament after a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the Round of 32. In a social media message on July 5, 2026, Queiroz stated that football teaches one to "either win or learn" and expressed pride in the team's achievements, alongside a "healthy dissatisfaction" for always wanting more. He emphasized that the future success of the Black Stars requires strong off-field structures to prepare, protect, and develop Ghana's football talent. Queiroz thanked the Ghana Football Association for the opportunity and acknowledged his players and staff for their commitment. He also told fans that while complete sporting satisfaction was not achieved, the team restored respect and credibility to the Black Stars on the global stage.
