His primary objective will be to guide the Black Stars to victory at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Ghana has not lifted the AFCON trophy since 1982, with ending the country’s long wait for continental glory now becoming the team’s main target.
Queiroz was appointed on a short-term basis ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following changes to the Black Stars’ technical bench.

Under his leadership, Ghana progressed from the group stage after recording a win over Panama, drawing with England and advancing to the knockout stage despite losing to Croatia in their final group match.

Despite the elimination, the GFA and the Sports Ministry are understood to be satisfied with the team’s overall progress and the direction established under the former Portugal, Iran and Egypt coach.
An official announcement on Queiroz’s contract extension is expected in the coming days if negotiations are successfully concluded.
The Black Stars will now shift their focus to the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, where Ghana has been drawn in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, Somalia and The Gambia.
