Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz leaves his position after Ghana suffers a 4-2 home defeat to Gambia in AFCON 2027 qualifiers. Multiple outlets report that Queiroz initially declined to resign following the loss, but his tenure ends soon after.
According to the Ghana Football Association, the decision follows a poor start in the qualifying campaign, including two defeats since Queiroz resumed the role. Al Jazeera and other reports say Queiroz quits as coach, while RFI reports his initial refusal to step down after the Gambia match. Channel NewsAsia and Legit.ng describe the separation as an FA decision, with Legit.ng adding that Queiroz delivers a farewell message.
Overall coverage agrees on the key events—Ghana’s defeat by Gambia, the disappointing start to the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, and the end of Queiroz’s spell—while differing on emphasis between an initial refusal to resign and the formal confirmation of his departure through FA action and/or mutual contract termination.
