Sack Chris Hugton, Black Stars Coach After AFCON Exit

There is an urgent need for Ghana to sack Chris Huston, the Black Stars coach, after the AFCON 2023. The team seems to lack a technical bench, and Chris Hugton and his assistant coaches have proven not to have what it takes to make the Black Stars shine. The Ghana Football Association and the government of Ghana will be doing a great disservice to our Black Stars if the current technical handlers stay at post after AFCON 2023.

The local coaches acting as his assistant coaches must not be spared either.

The “Sack Black Stars Coach, Chris Hugton” call has come from several quarters in and out of the football fraternity in the last few days.

While Ghana wants local coaches to learn from the coaches that have been appointed for the Black Stars over the years, it is important to ensure that we do not continue to sacrifice the needed reduction by always appointing local coaches as assistant coaches for the Black Stars.

This way of thinking is not providing us with the results we need, and from all indications, Chris Hugton is not fit for the job he is doing now for the Black Stars.

The Ghana national team, the Black Stars, must get a new coach after exiting the ongoing AFCON tournament in Ivory Coast. The Black Stars have so far proven in the ongoing tournament that they are not in the tournament to win but to just participate in it.

After a 2-1 loss to Cape Verde and a 2-2 draw with Egypt, the Black Stars may just be lucky to go to the next round if they can beat Mozambique in the final group game and be considered one of the best third-place teams at the end of the first round of matches. Nevertheless, it looks so difficult for Ghana, and the Black Stars cannot easily qualify for the next stage of the competition.
