Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as the coach of Ghana less than two months after he initially resigned from the position. The decision follows a series of new negotiations between the Portuguese coach, the Ghana Football Association, and the country's Ministry of Sports and Recreation. Queiroz originally stepped down in the aftermath of Ghana's elimination from the World Cup during the last 32 stage. His first tenure included a stint where he replaced Otto Addo in April, leading the team through a group stage that featured a draw against England. The Ghana Football Association cited the 73-year-old's extensive international experience and technical expertise as primary factors for his return to the national setup. Queiroz has previously managed Portugal, Colombia, Iran, and Egypt at the international level.
