The Ghana Football Association has successfully completed its contract with veteran Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz to lead the national team in the upcoming World Cup.
The former coach of the Egyptian national team is set to take charge of the Ghanaian national team during the tournament hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Queiroz appointed as Ghana coach
In a statement, the Ghana Football Association revealed that the contract with Carlos Queiroz is to coach the Black Stars only during the 2026 World Cup.
The Portuguese Carlos Queiroz has extensive experience as a coach, having coached the national teams of Egypt, Qatar, Oman, Japan and Iran.
He has also previously led teams in the World Cup four times, in 2010 with Portugal and in 2014, 2018 and 2022 with Iran.
Ghana, on the other hand, is in Group 12 of the World Cup, alongside England, Croatia and Panama.
Mohammed Qaddous injured
On the other hand, Ghanaian player Mohammed Kudus suffered a new setback while recovering from the injury he sustained last January with his English team, Tottenham.
The club said in a statement: We confirm that Mohammed Qaddous has suffered a setback in his return from injury.
Quddus was injured against Sunderland last January and returned to team training last week, but he will now need further specialized medical examinations, and possibly surgery, which threatens his participation in the most important tournament in the world.
