The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Carlos Queiroz on a short-term basis to guide the Black Stars through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with new details about his contract starting to surface.
The Portuguese coach is believed to have signed a four-month deal, reportedly worth $100,000 per month. This agreement will be assessed after the World Cup, with the possibility of extending it based on Ghana’s performance.
Queiroz’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the national team, with the GFA focusing on experience and stability following a challenging period. His reputation for managing teams in transition and creating disciplined, resilient squads is said to have been a key factor in his selection.
Queiroz was chosen over several other prominent candidates, with the GFA placing confidence in his tactical acumen and steady leadership to guide the Black Stars into the tournament.
Ghana will become the fifth team Queiroz leads to the World Cup, following spells with Portugal and Iran across multiple editions of the tournament.
With limited time to prepare, the focus now shifts to how quickly he can impose structure and belief within the squad.
Ghana face a tough group against England, Croatia and Panama, with expectations high as the Black Stars aim to make a stronger impact on the world stage.
