According to commentary captured in the aftermath, likely from Paintsil, the coaches appeared to be unharmed, though a full assessment of any potential injuries will be made later.
The trio had watched the game at the renovated TNA Sports Stadium and were en route to Accra to start preparations for Ghana’s opening 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and Niger.
The Black Stars are set to kick off their qualifying campaign against Angola on Thursday, September 5, 2024, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
