Queiroz resigns from Ghana coaching job after World Cup exit

KANSAS CITY - Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has resigned from his position following the World Cup elimination after a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the round of 32 last week, reported German Press Agency (dpa).

The event in North America was his fifth consecutive World Cup as a coach.

"I leave this journey with pride in what we achieved, but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who always wanted more,” Queiroz said.

In his farewell remarks, the veteran coach criticised the Ghana Football Association.

"The future of the Black Stars will not be built only on the pitch, Black Stars' success must start off the field, by creating the best possible environment to prepare, protect and develop Ghana's extraordinary football talent,” he said.

"To my players and staff, my deepest gratitude for your courage, commitment and unwavering dedication to the team. To the fans, we cannot claim complete sporting satisfaction, but we can proudly say that we honoured the colours of Ghana and restored respect and credibility to the Black Stars on football's greatest stage.” - BERNAMA
