The Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh Dompreh, has recommended the sacking of Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton, if that’s what is required for Ghana to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Brighton boss has been under intense pressure since taking charge of his first game in March, with results not forthcoming, and the football not pleasing to watch.
Speaking on the floor of parliament, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP called on the Sports Minister to do everything possible to ensure the Black Stars don’t disgrace the country in Cote d’Ivoire next month.
“Minster, you’ll agree with me that these days our Black Stars is becoming a pale shadow of itself,” Dompreh said.
“As we are heading towards another African tournament, we urge you to do everything and anything, including the changing of our national coach, if need be.
“We can’t just go there and be part of the number of teams. We’ve always said that we are four-time champions; this thing is becoming old time glory.
“We want to do something for ourselves and minister I know you can do it. Please help and let’s get our Black Stars in a good shape.”
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Cape Verde on January 14 – in 25 days.
