The Ghana Football Association has officially parted ways with John Paintsil in his role as high-performance coach of the Ghana national football team, marking a significant shift in the teamโs technical structure.
The decision forms part of a broader restructuring effort by the federation as it seeks to reposition the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Queiroz, who brings a wealth of international experience, is expected to assemble his own technical team as he takes charge of the Black Stars during a crucial preparatory period. His immediate mandate is to stabilize performances and instill a competitive edge within the squad.
Ghanaโs recent World Cup campaigns have fallen short of expectations, with early exits in both 2014 and 2022 raising concerns about consistency and long-term planning. The federation now turns to Queirozโs proven pedigree in international football to guide a turnaround.
