Carlos Queiroz has officially resigned from his position as head coach of the Ghana national football team. The decision comes shortly after a brief tenure that began on September 2, during which the team struggled to secure results in the qualifying stages for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Under Queiroz’s leadership, the team suffered two consecutive defeats, which significantly hampered their progress in the qualifying campaign. While the official announcement confirmed his departure, specific details regarding the terms of his exit or the immediate plans for a successor have not been disclosed by the Ghana Football Association. The rapid nature of his exit—occurring just weeks after his appointment—has drawn attention to the mounting pressure surrounding the national team's performance and the high expectations placed on coaching staff in international football.
