Portuguese association football manager (born 1953)
Carlos Manuel Brito Leal de Queiroz is a Portuguese association football manager. He has served as the manager of the national teams of Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Iran, Colombia, Egypt, Qatar, Oman and Ghana, leading South Africa (2002), Portugal (2010), Iran and Ghana (2026) to the FIFA World Cup. At club level, he has managed Sporting CP, the New York/New Jersey Metrostars in Major League Soccer and Spanish club Real Madrid. He also had two spells as Alex Ferguson's assistant manager at English club Manchester United.
More on Wikipedia ↗Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice President George Afriyie has questioned the decision to form a five-member committee to search for the next Black Stars head coach, arguing that the GFA should already have identified potential replacements before Carlos Queiroz’s departure.
Ghana's Black Stars have dropped five places to 70th in the latest FIFA world rankings after a poor start to their 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign.
Michael Essien is reportedly in contention for Ghana’s interim Black Stars role after Queiroz’s exit, despite saying in 2024 he needed coaching experience.
