Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mark Addo, has argued that the Black Stars must be managed by a quality coach and not a coach with an affiliation.<\/p>\n

The senior national team has in recent times witnessed different coaches.<\/p>\n

CK Akonnor, Milovan Rajevac, and Otto Addo have all managed the Black Stars under the current Kurt Okraku-led administration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The team is currently managed by former Brighton and Newcastle United manager, Chris Hughton.<\/p>\n

The former Premier League manager was appointed following Otto Addo\u2019s resignation after Ghana\u2019s poor performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Addo said the appointment of a Black Stars coach must be based on quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelecting a Black Stars coach should be about quality and not where the coach\u00a0comes from,\u201d he told Nhyira FM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians were complaining we are not giving our local coaches the opportunity when we brought in expatriates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot lower the standards and expect positive results,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Black Stars will return to action on September 7 when they take on the Central African Republic (CAR) in the final group game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.<\/p>\n
