Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has stepped down after three months in charge following the Black Stars’ World Cup campaign that ended in the round of 16, he said on Sunday.
The 73-year-old, who won his fifth consecutive World Cup title, took over in April, replacing Otto Addo, who parted ways with Ghana 72 days before the tournament.
«I leave this journey with pride in what we have achieved, but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who always wanted more. Reaching a higher level should never be the destination, it should be the beginning of even greater ambitions,» Queiroz wrote on Instagram.
Ghana defeated Panama and drew against England before losing to Croatia to finish third in Group L and advance as one of the top eight third-placed teams. It lost 1-0 to Colombia in the first knockout round.
The former Iran, Portugal and Egypt coach led Ghana in one friendly match ahead of the World Cup.
