Ghana's newly appointed Black Stars head coach, Carlos Queiroz, is not earning the widely reported $100,000 monthly salary, sources close to the Ministry of Sports and Recreation have told Ghanasoccernet.com. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) officially announced Queiroz's appointment on April 24, 2026, with a contract running until 2028, but the exact financial terms have not been disclosed.
The $100,000 figure, which circulated in local media, was denied by ministry insiders who spoke on condition of anonymity. They stated that the actual salary is significantly lower, though they declined to provide the precise amount. The GFA has not issued an official statement on Queiroz's remuneration.
Queiroz, a veteran Portuguese coach with experience leading Portugal, Iran, Colombia, and Egypt, replaces Otto Addo, who resigned after Ghana failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Black Stars are set to begin their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign in September 2026.
