Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, a former Ghana international, has shared his thoughts on the dismissal of Black Stars coach Chris Hughton, stating that it is the least of the issues plaguing Ghanaian football.
The Ghana Football Association is poised to appoint a seventh coach for the Black Stars within the last six years, following the sacking of Chris Hughton.
Chris Hughton, a former Premier League manager, and the entire Black Stars technical team were relieved of their duties on Tuesday after their disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
In an interview with Wontumi FM, monitored by Footballghana.com, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu expressed his surprise at the focus on Hughton’s sacking, stating, “We’ve been sacking and appointing coaches after almost every tournament for the past six years and nothing has changed.”
He added, “Sacking of coaches is the least of our problems as a football nation. Hughton is the small fish but the real culprits will be left to carry out their duties.”
In the meantime, the Ghana FA has formed a five-member committee to search for a new coach for the Black Stars within the next three weeks.
