The Ghana Football Association has been commended for taking the initiative to sack Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton.<\/strong><\/p>\n On Tuesday, January 23, 2023, the GFA announced the sacking of Chris Hughton and the entire technical team of the Black Stars following Ghana\u2019s exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ghana Football Association wishes to announce that Chris Hughton has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the senior National team with immediate effect,\u201d a statement from the GFA said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Executive Council has also taken a decision to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ghana Football Association will in the coming days provide a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars, the FA said in a statement.<\/p>\n On social media, the GFA have been praised for firing Chris Hughton as some Ghanaians believe that the coach exhibited gross incompetence in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n However, a significant chunk of Ghanaians believe that the GFA members should resign and allow for an overhaul of Ghana football.<\/p>\n They believe that the GFA are equally culpable in the misfortunes that have plagued Ghana football and therefore ought to pave the way for others.<\/p>\n Background<\/p>\n The decision to sack Chris Hughton follows Ghana\u2019s disastrous 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Ivory Coast which ended with a group-stage exit without a win in three games.<\/p>\n Ghana, needing a win against Mozambique in the final group game, conceded two goals in added time to draw 2-2 and crash out.<\/p>\n Chris Hughton was appointed Ghana\u2019s head coach in March 2023 after serving as Technical Advisor for a year.<\/p>\n He has taken charge of 12 games in his almost one-year duration as Ghana coach, winning four games, drawing four and losing four.<\/p>\n Kurt Okraku and Dede Ayew have been the the only constant in all our embarrassing showing in previous tourneys<\/p>\n Sacking Chris Hughton is a quick fix. The bigger fix is getting Kurt Okraku out too.#KurtOkrakuOut<\/a> #KurtMustGo<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 #KurtOkrakuOut #DedeOut (@mensaduncan) January 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You sack Chris Houghton a coach which you didn’t allow to work on his own.
