Queiroz leaves Black Stars for good – McKinstry’s lecture was the ultimate straw

Carlos Queiroz has left his post as Ghana head coach for the second time in just three months – and this time, it was a former Gor Mahia boss who delivered the final blow.Johnathan McKinstry's Gambia came from two goals down to stun Ghana 4-2 in Accra, prompting Queiroz and the Ghana Football Association to "mutually agree" to terminate the ex-Real Madrid coach's contract.The Black Stars, ranked 65th in the world, had raced into a 2-0 lead against a Gambia side sitting 116th in the FIFA rankings before completely collapsing.##LINKED_NEWS_69459##For McKinstry, who previously managed Kenyan giants Gor Mahia, it was a remarkable comeback victory. For Queiroz, it proved to be the end of the second spell with the Black Stars.The 73-year-old first stepped down on July 5 following Ghana's World Cup exit, only to be reappointed nine weeks later. But after defeats by Ivory Coast and Gambia in his two matches since returning, he is now gone again."This was not an easy decision, but both parties agreed that, under the present circumstances, ending our professional relationship was the most appropriate course of action," Queiroz said.##LINKED_NEWS_68656##He added that he had arrived determined to help build a stronger future for the Black Stars, but admitted that "the necessary conditions were not fully established".Queiroz's second spell ended after seven games in charge, while his overall tenure was marked by just one win, alongside two draws and two defeats according to the Ghana FA's record cited in the statement.21.45: (1.25) Germany (6.00) Serbia (12.5)The Portuguese coach has enjoyed a long and distinguished career, including a spell as Real Madrid manager in 2003-04 and two stints as Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United. He has also coached a host of national teams, including South Africa, Colombia, Egypt, Qatar and Oman.
