Queiroz steps down as Ghana coach after World Cup exit

Carlos Queiroz has stepped down as Ghana head coach after three months in charge following their World Cup exit in the last 32.

The 73-year-old took charge in April and led his side to a third-place finish in Group L before they were beaten 1-0 by Colombia in the first round of the knockouts.

The former Manchester United coach was managing at his fifth consecutive World Cup, having also led Iran, Portugal and Egypt at major tournaments.

Queiroz was one of two World Cup managers to leave their post on Sunday, with Jordan also parting ways with head coach Jamal Sellami following their fourth-place finish in Group J.
