Chris Hughton Sacked As Black Stars Coach

Following their elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Ghana Football Association fired head coach Chris Hughton.

Hughton’s team only managed two points and finished third in Group B at the AFCON after losing all three of their group stage matches.

Ghana was among the better third-placed teams and had a chance to advance to the round of sixteen despite Monday’s poor 2-2 draw against Mozambique, in which they gave up two goals in extra time.

But four-time AFCON winners Ghana were eliminated in Cameroon’s 3-2 victory over The Gambia earlier on Tuesday.

 

“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) wishes to announce that Chris Hughton has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the senior national team with immediate effect,” a GFA statement late on Tuesday read.

“The executive council has also taken a decision to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars.

“The Ghana Football Association will, in the coming days, provide a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars.”
