He guided Ghana into the knockout stages after a 1-0 win over Panama, a goalless draw with England and a 2-1 defeat to Croatia. However, they were undone in the Round of 32 by Colombia on Saturday morning.
Just a day later, Queiroz – who was assisted by Roger de Sa – officially resigned from his post, stating the future of Black Stars success “must start off the field”.
“Football, like life, teaches us one timeless lesson: you either win or you learn,” he wrote via a statement.
“I leave this journey with pride in what we achieved, but also with the healthy dissatisfaction of those who always wanted more. Reaching a higher level should never be the destination—it should be the beginning of even greater ambitions.
“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.
“To my President and Board, thank you so much for the opportunity to serve the Ghana National Football Team. It was an honor and privilege to serve the Country and the Black Stars.
“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.
“Thank you, Ghana. The journey starts now. To the future.”
