The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced the dismissal of Chris Hughton as Black Stars Coach and his technical team after an early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2023.
This decision was taken after the Black Stars failed to win a single game in the tournament.
Chris Hughton, 65, took charge of the Black Stars in February 2023, signing a 21-month contract. He was tasked with overseeing the remainder of Ghana’s qualifiers for AFCON 2023, as well as supervising the start of the Stars’ 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana have failed to win any of their last five matches in all competitions, a miserable run culminating in a second consecutive group stage exit at AFCON.
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.
The Ghana Football Association said a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars will be announced in the coming days.
