The Ghana Football Association (Ghana Football Association) has confirmed that newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz will soon arrive in Ghana for his official unveiling.

GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum said the experienced Portuguese tactician is expected in the coming days, where he will formally present his vision for the senior national team.

Queiroz, who has previously managed Egypt, Colombia and Oman, has been handed a short-term deal to lead Ghana into the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

The 73-year-old replaces Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties in March following back-to-back friendly defeats to Austria and Germany.

Speaking on Asempa FM, Asante Twum said plans for the coach’s introduction will give the public and media an opportunity to hear directly from him.

He said Queiroz will arrive in Ghana to be unveiled, where he will outline his plans, expectations and ambitions for the team, and will also be made available to the press to answer questions.

Queiroz is expected to begin work with the squad next month, starting with an international friendly against Mexico, before concluding preparations with a match against Wales on June 2.

Ghana, preparing for their fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, have been drawn in Group L, where they will face Panama, England and Croatia.

The team is seeking a stronger performance following early exits at the 2014 and 2022 tournaments.
