GFA sacks Black Stars coach Chris Hughton and his technical team
In a major development, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced tonight that Chris Hughton has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars. The GFA Executive Council also decided to dissolve the entire technical team.
This comes after the Black Stars' disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)
While Hughton, 65, had guided the team to qualification for the AFCON, their lacklustre showing sparked widespread criticism and calls for change.
The GFA, in its statement, did not elaborate on the specific reasons for the decision but promised to provide "a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars" in the coming days.
However, recent results have not been kind, with the Black Stars struggling in friendlies and ultimately failing to progress from the AFCON group stage.
The news of Hughton's departure and the dissolution of the technical team including his two assistants George Boateng and Mas-Ud Dramani as well as goalkeeper's trainer Richard Kingson marks a significant shake-up for the Black Stars.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers approaching, the GFA faces the crucial task of finding a new coaching team capable of guiding the team back to success on the international stage.
