Ghana are set to officially unveil Carlos Queiroz as their new head coach on Thursday, marking a significant step in the Black Stars’ preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The vastly experienced tactician is expected to address the media during his unveiling, where he will outline his plans and vision for the national team ahead of the global showpiece.

Queiroz will not be arriving alone, as he is set to be accompanied by his long-time assistant Roger De Sa, along with three additional backroom staff members to strengthen Ghana’s technical setup.

Details of his contract have also emerged, revealing a short-term arrangement that underscores the urgency of Ghana’s World Cup ambitions. The agreement will initially run for just four months. 

However, it includes a high-stakes performance clause should Ghana reach the semi-finals of the tournament, Queiroz will automatically be retained as head coach on a permanent basis.

The arrangement reflects a results-driven approach by the Ghana Football Association, as the Black Stars aim to make a deep run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
