Chris
Hughton has been sacked as coach of Ghana after the Black Stars’ early
elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Hughton’s side failed to win any of their three
group-stage matches in Cote D’Ivoire, picking up only two points and finishing
third in Group B.
A statement from the Ghana Football Federation on
Tuesday stated the sack of the Englishman was decided by the executive council.
“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) wishes to
announce that Chris Hughton has been relieved of his duties as head coach of
the senior national team with immediate effect
“The executive council has also taken a decision
to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars.
“The Ghana Football Association will in the coming
days provide a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars,” the
statement read
Despite the disappointing draw against Mozambique
on Monday, Ghana still had a chance of qualifying for the last 16 as one of the
best third-placed teams
However, Cameroon ensured that never happened as
they beat The Gambia 3-2 on Tuesday to confirm the elimination of the Black
Stars from the tournament
