Failed 2023 AFCON campaign
YEN.com.gh reported that Ghana's Black Stars have been without a coach since their disappointing early exit from the 2023 AFCON.
The Black Stars failed to qualify from their group at AFCON 2023, which is currently ongoing in Cote d'Ivoire.
The team picked up just two points and finished third in Group B after two draws and a loss.
Ghana suffered defeat in its first game of the tournament, losing 2-1 to Cape Verde and drew its next two games against Egypt and Mozambique.
Ghana had a chance of qualifying for the tournament's knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams. However, Cameroon’s 3-2 win over The Gambia knocked the team out.
Chris Hughton was sacked as the Ghana Black Stars coach after less than a year on the job.
