Carlos Queiroz Did Not Resign: Message Misinterpreted as Farewell
Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz did not resign.
His emotional open letter to Ghana, posted after the 2026 World Cup exit, has been widely misread as a departure announcement. In fact, the message was solely a reflection on the completed World Cup journey and not his role with the national team.
In the post, Queiroz expressed pride in the campaign, gratitude to players, staff, fans and the GFA, and optimism for the future, ending with “The journey starts now. To the future.”
The statement referred only to closing the chapter on this tournament, consistent with his style after major competitions.
No official departure has been announced. Discussions about the team’s future continue with Queiroz involved.
