The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has terminated the contract of Chris Hughton, the coach for the Black Stars, immediately.
In a statement released on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, on the GFA’s website, it was announced that the Executive Council had made a decision to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars and that the GFA would soon provide a roadmap for the future direction of the team.
Coach Chris Hughton has already claimed responsibility for Ghana’s last-minute collapse against Mozambique which left the Black Stars out of another group-stage exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Stars gave away a two-goal lead in six minutes to draw 2-2 with Mozambique in their last Group B game at the Olympic Stadium in Abidjan on Monday night.
The result has left the Stars in 3rd position in the group, with only 2 points, and now desperately need a miracle to qualify as one of the four-place teams.
At the post-game press conference, Hughton said, “I take responsibility for this performance and admit my results with the Black Stars have not been good enough.”
But he stopped short of resigning from his position.
