Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has dismissed reports suggesting he has resigned from his position, insisting that he remains in charge of Ghana’s senior national football team.
Speaking after days of speculation following Ghana’s exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Queiroz clarified that he never stepped down as head coach despite widespread reports linking him with a resignation.
“I didn’t resign,” the Portuguese coach stated, putting to rest rumours that he had ended his short spell with the Black Stars after the team’s Round of 32 defeat to Colombia.
The speculation began after several local and international media outlets reported that Queiroz had resigned, with some citing what was believed to be a farewell message following Ghana’s World Cup elimination. The reports quickly gained traction, leading many football fans to believe the Ghana Football Association (GFA) was set to begin the search for a new head coach.
However, Queiroz has now rejected those claims, making it clear that he has not tendered his resignation.
His clarification means he remains the Black Stars coach unless the Ghana Football Association announces any official change regarding his future.
Queiroz took charge of the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and guided Ghana through a challenging campaign that saw the team progress from a difficult group before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the Round of 32.
Despite the disappointment of the early exit, the team’s performances earned praise from many supporters, with the Black Stars showing resilience and determination throughout the tournament.
With the resignation rumours now addressed by the coach himself, attention is expected to shift to Ghana’s next international assignments and the plans to build on the positives from the World Cup campaign.
Neither the Ghana Football Association nor Queiroz has indicated any official decision regarding a departure, leaving the Portuguese tactician still at the helm of the Black Stars.
For now, the message from Carlos Queiroz is clear: he has not resigned.
