Carlos Queiroz World Cup exit came after he stepped down as Ghana head coach following the team's elimination from the World Cup. His three-month spell ended after Ghana lost 1-0 to Colombia in the last 32.
The departure leaves Ghana without a head coach immediately after a third-place finish in Group L. Queiroz took charge in April, but the run lasted only until the first round of the knockouts.
Ghana and Group L
Ghana reached the knockout stage after finishing third in Group L, then fell 1-0 to Colombia. That result ended the tournament run and triggered the end of Queiroz's short stint.
Queiroz was managing at his fifth consecutive World Cup, a sequence that stretched across Iran, Portugal and Egypt before his move to Ghana. The contrast is stark: a coach with major-tournament mileage was in charge for just three months.
Sunday departures
He was one of two World Cup managers to leave their post on Sunday. Jordan also parted ways with Jamal Sellami after finishing fourth in Group J.
For Ghana, the immediate issue is the vacant dugout. Who will take over after Carlos Queiroz's departure is the next question, and the team now moves on without a head coach in place after its World Cup exit.
