Ghana completed its shakeup ahead of this summer's World Cup by naming Carlos Queiroz as head coach.
Queiroz, 73, has World Cup head coach experience with Iran in 2014, 2018 and 2022, as well as with Portugal in 2010. The Portugal native led his home country to the Round of 16 in the 2010 event at South Africa, where it lost to Spain.
Ghana fired former head coach Otto Addo late last month in advance of the country's opening game of the World Cup against Panama on June 17 at Toronto. Ghana also will face England and Croatia in Group L play.
At the time of Addo's dismissal, Ghana was on a five-game losing streak that included a recent 5-1 loss to Austria and a 2-1 loss to Germany. While Ghana did qualify for the World Cup, it did not qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations this upcoming winter.
Before the World Cup begins, Ghana will have a pair of friendlies under Queiroz at Mexico on May 22 and at Wales on June 2.
A coach for nearly four decades, Queiroz also had head coaching stops with the national teams of the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Colombia, Egypt and Qatar. At the club level, he was head coach at Sporting CP in Portugal, the New York/New Jersey Metrostars in MLS and Real Madrid in Spain.
Queiroz was the assistant manager under Alex Ferguson for two different stints at Manchester United of the English Premier League from 2002-2003 and again from 2004-2008.
