Carlos Queiroz has been reappointed as head coach of Ghana's men's national team.
The 73-year-old, who had two spells as assistant manager at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, took charge of the Black Stars in April and led the side to the last 32 at this year's Fifa World Cup, where they were beaten 1-0 by Colombia.
Queiroz appeared to announce his own departure on social media shortly after that defeat, but the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has decided to re-engage him for another spell in charge following internal discussions.
The GFA has not announced the length of his new deal but said he will prepare the team for "a successful new phase on the international stage".
