Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as Ghana's head coach on an interim basis, just two months after stepping down following the country's FIFA World Cup campaign.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced on Wednesday that the 73-year-old Portuguese tactician would "embark on a new coaching mandate, commencing with the upcoming international window."

In a statement, the GFA said: "The GFA believes Queiroz's extensive international experience, technical expertise, and knowledge of the Black Stars position him strongly to lead the team into this next chapter."

The former Iran, Portugal, Colombia, and Egypt coach guided the Black Stars to the round of 32 at the World Cup despite having only a couple of months to prepare them for the tournament.

Ghana was left without a coach 72 days before the World Cup kickoff after parting ways with Otto Addo following friendly defeats to Austria and Germany in March.

Ghana is scheduled to play home and away group matches against Ivory Coast in qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations during the next international window, which runs from September 21 to October 6.

Queiroz led Portugal to the round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup and later coached Iran in the last three editions of the tournament, recording three wins in 13 matches.

Born in Mozambique, the former goalkeeper has also held coaching positions with Egypt, Japan, Colombia, and South Africa, and previously led Portugal in the early 1990s.
