Carlos Queiroz Has An Excellent cv For Coaching A Good African Team In A North American World Cup

Carlos Queiroz is the head coach of Ghana in the 2026 World Cup.

I have just read his Wikipedia entry.

These are a few points.

  • He was born in Mozambique.
  • He is 73, which is older than I thought.
  • He played professional football as a goalkeeper, which is unusual for a well-respected coach.
  • He was a successful coach of young players and won the Youth World Cup twice with Portugal.
  • He has coached at a top-level in the United States and Japan.
  • Queiroz is a graduate of the University of Lisbon.
  • He has managed the Portuguese National team.
  • He authored the Q-Report, detailing plans to professionalize the development of footballers in the United States.
  • He has coached Real Madrid
  • He coached at Manchester United alongside Alex Ferguson.
  • He has also coached the national teams of Columbia, Egypt and Iran.

I must admit with a cv like that, I’m surprised he hasn’t managed a Premier League team, that’s in serious trouble of relegation.
