Sack Chris Hugton, Black Stars Coach After AFCON Exit

Sack Chris Hugton, Black Stars coach After AFCON Exit. The current technical handlers of the senior men's national team must be sacked World Cup 2026 qualifiers: Ghana coach Chris Hughton admits slow start in Madagascar win

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.

The last defeats have brought a lot of disappointment to many Ghanaians, as they lost hope in the team.

The Ghana Black Stars will play Mozambique in their next match and final Group B game. This game has been described by most sports pundits as “very crucial.”.

Whatever the case, Ghana’s football and the Black Stars need a new coach after the AFCON. It is time to sack Chris Hugton as Black Stars coach.

AFCON 2023: Ghana draws with Egypt after defensive blunders and lost of concentration

AFCON 2023: Ghana draws with Egypt after defensive blunders and lost of concentration AFCON 2023 Preview: The Black Stars of Ghana out to break a 42-year jinx

When Ghana looked like it was out to win its second group B game against Egypt, two defensive blunders by Inaki Williams and Bukari gifted Egypt a level peg at 1 all, then a 2-2 drawn score line.

Mohammed Kudus scored a brace on the day, but the poor defensive setup and work of the Ghanaian defense led to the consideration of both equalizers.

Ghana sits at the tail end of the table with just a point after two matches at the AFCON. This sums up the quality of the current Black Stars.

Currently, this is how Group B looks

Ghana is on the verge of exiting the 2023 AFCON if the Black Stars do not win the last group match. If the Stars win their last group match and obtain 4 points in the tournament, they may just be lucky to be one of the best third-placed teams to go through.

The Black Stars have their destiny in their hands. A win against Mozambique is the only way to give them a lifeline. Anything apart from a win will send them out of the AFCON in the group stage for the second successive tournament.

 

 

AFCON 2023: Egypt vs Ghana – Black Stars Cursed After Qualifying, Will Lose Again

AFCON 2023: Egypt vs Ghana - Black Stars Cursed After Qualifying, Will Lose Again October Friendlies: Check Out Black Stars Call-up Squad; Check The List

The AFCON 2023 will end for Ghana today as they go head-to-head with Inform Egypt in their second group game. The Egypt vs. Ghana game is expected to be tough for the Black Stars of Ghana.

It will be a miracle to see Ghana even draw with Egypt in their second group match.

The Black Stars are projected to lose their second game and be the second team to be eliminated at the Cup of Nations underway in Ivory Coast.

Ghana, in their first group game, was beaten 2-1 by Cape Verde. Given the poor outing of the Black Stars in the last 8 years and their poor performance in the 2021 AFCON, where they were eliminated in the group stage, nothing but a win will increase their chances of going through to the next round, but only if they can win their final group game and be considered one of the third-place teams.

The Black Stars of Ghana were cursed after qualifying for the 2023 AFCON, and this may be working already. After defeating the Central African Republic at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium today, September 7, 2023, the Central African Republic said at the post-match conference that Ghana was favoured in the game and that Ghaha was going to suffer the same fate she experienced at the 2021 AFCON.

The two teams had all to play for and a win for the Central African Republic was all they needed to book a spot while Ghana needed at least a draw to make it to the tournament in Côte d’Ivoire.

In that final qualifier, Semenyo and Nuamah combined after the former pounced on a defensive error to set up the Lyon man to slot home the winner in the 87th minute.

However, Ghana is no longer the big name in Africa and world football, and the team will not have any impact on the tournament but will be a mere participant.

Currently, this is how Group B looks

At the end of the game, we expect Egypt to go to the top of the group with four points and Ghana to remain fourth with no points.

The H2H statistics for Ghana and Egypt

The H2H stats on Ghana and Egypt favour Egypt. The two teams have met eight times. While Ghana has won two games, Egypt has dominated the encounters with four wins, while there have been two draws.

Black Stars Will Lose 2:1 Against Egypt – Pastor Who Predicted First Game Drops Another Revelation

Black Stars Will Lose 2:1 Against Egypt; Pastor Who Predicted First Game Drops Another Revelation

Ghanaian Pastor, Jedidia Henry Kore, has become known for his precise football predictions, and this time, he foretold the outcome of the Black Stars vs. Egypt match. In a widely circulated video, Pastor Jedidia confidently stated that the score would be 2:1 in favor of the Egypt National team.

This prediction follows his earlier accurate foresight regarding the Black Stars vs. Cape Verde match. During a church service, he specifically prophesied a 1-1 draw, with Cape Verde scoring a last-minute goal, resulting in a 1:2 final score against Ghana. Notably, this prediction materialized, adding to the intrigue surrounding Pastor Kore’s predictions.

Delving into the details of the Cape Verde match, Pastor Kore went further to predict that the Black Stars would lose the two remaining matches, expressing a belief that this African Cup of Nations wasn’t destined for them. The disappointment among supporters was palpable, particularly after the surprising defeat in the opening Group B match.

Ghana’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident early on, with Cape Verde’s Jamiro Monteiro scoring the first goal in the 17th minute. Despite Alexander Djiku’s equalizer in the 56th minute, the Black Stars faced a dramatic stoppage-time goal, resulting in Cape Verde’s 2-1 victory.

Fans in Accra expressed shock and disappointment, finding it hard to believe Cape Verde’s win. Observers lamented that Ghana, being a football powerhouse, had higher expectations for their team. As the night ended in defeat, Cape Verde secured the top spot in Group B.

Looking ahead, Black Stars fans hope for a better performance in the upcoming match against Egypt on January 18. Egypt, the runner-up of the previous AFCON edition, drew 2-2 against Mozambique in their earlier match on January 14. The anticipation is high as Ghana seeks redemption in the tournament, and Pastor Kore’s predictions add an extra layer of anticipation to the unfolding events.
