AFCON 2023; I don’t want to describe you as a bad coach but that’s who you are; your tactics weren’t good — GFA member ‘attacks’ Chris Hughton 

Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member, Nana Oduro Sarfo, has launched a blistering critique against former coach Chris Hughton, labeling him a 'bad coach' in the aftermath of the Black Stars' disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

Hughton, appointed in March 2023, led the team to the 34th edition of the AFCON, where Ghana experienced a group stage exit for the second consecutive time, finishing third in Group B with only two points out of a possible nine.

In an interview on Asempa FM, Sarfo did not mince his words as he expressed dissatisfaction with Hughton's coaching tactics, asserting that they fell short of the standards expected for the Black Stars.

"I don't want to describe Chris Hughton as a bad coach, but he was not good enough to coach the Black Stars," Sarfo declared.

"His tactics were not good enough. He is a bad coach," he added.

Following Hughton's dismissal in the wake of the team's poor performance at the AFCON, the GFA has appointed a five-member committee to recommend a new coach to the Executive Council.

This committee is entrusted with the responsibility of identifying a suitable replacement capable of leading the Black Stars to success in future tournaments.

The decision to part ways with Hughton has prompted discussions among football enthusiasts in Ghana, with diverse opinions on his coaching tenure.

Despite the controversy, the GFA remains resolute in its quest to find an adept replacement for Hughton, aiming to rejuvenate the Black Stars and restore their standing as one of Africa's premier football teams.
