Colombia will look to build on one of the most impressive group-stage campaigns at the ongoing FIFA World Cup when they face Ghana in Saturday's Round of 32 clash, but standing in their way is a man who knows them better than most – former coach Carlos Queiroz.

Ghana boss Carlos Queiroz said Thursday it was his team's "duty" to ensure another African side reached the World Cup round of 16 after a string of knockout defeats for teams from the continent.

England suffered a World Cup setback on Tuesday as Thomas Tuchel's side were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Ghana, leaving them with work still do as they bid to progress to the knockout stage as Group L winners.

Veteran Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz has been appointed head coach of Ghana for the 2026 World Cup, the Ghanaian federation announced on Monday.

Queiroz was appointed to his position last February on a four-year contract with the aim of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Iran's coach Carlos Queiroz lambasted German soccer icon Juergen Klinsmann for criticising his team's World Cup conduct, calling his remarks a "disgrace to football" and urging him to resign from his role with world governing body FIFA.

Carlos Queiroz was once Alex Ferguson's formidable number two at Manchester United, now he carves out a new reputation: the man who can take your team to the World Cup.
