Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has dismissed widespread reports that he resigned from his role, insisting that his recent emotional social media message was simply an expression of appreciation to the country. The veteran Portuguese manager clarified that he remains in charge of the Black Stars despite the confusion sparked by his post after Ghana’s 1-0 round-of-32 exit to Colombia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking directly to a football fan from the United States, Queiroz firmly denied the speculation and explained the intention behind his message. “I’ve not resigned. I was just sending my message of gratitude,” he said, adding, “I’m still the coach of the Black Stars, and I haven’t resigned!”

The misunderstanding began after Queiroz published a heartfelt note on his official Instagram account following Ghana’s painful elimination from the tournament. In that post, the 73-year-old thanked the Ghanaian public, his players and the football administration for their support during the team’s brief World Cup campaign.
The message was quickly interpreted by several sports outlets as a farewell statement, prompting claims that the former Real Madrid and Manchester United manager had stepped down immediately. But Queiroz has now moved to correct that narrative, stressing that he has not submitted any resignation to the football authorities.
Queiroz remains under a short-term contract signed in April, which is set to run through the tournament cycle and the post-World Cup technical review process. For now, the Black Stars are still under his leadership as Ghana begins to assess the next phase of its football future.
