Queiroz rejects resignation talk after Ghana’s shock defeat

Carlos Queiroz says he does not believe resigning would solve Ghana’s problems after their 4‑2 home defeat to The Gambia left the Black Stars without a point in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. With pressure mounting following a 2‑0 loss to Ivory Coast and another setback in Accra, the Portuguese coach admitted that quitting would be “the easiest option” but argued it would not address the wider structural issues affecting Ghanaian football. He stressed that any decision rests with the federation’s board, adding that he remains capable of doing the job.

Queiroz insisted the defeat does not make him a loser, saying setbacks must serve as lessons. Ghana had led 2‑0 through Ernest Nuamah and Felix Afena‑Gyan before collapsing. The coach urged his players to stay organised and prepare better for upcoming matches. Bottom of Group C after two games, Ghana now face a difficult path to revive their qualifying campaign.
