The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has relieved Chris Hughton of his duties as head coach of the Black Stars following their early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
“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 GFA said.
Hughton’s men started the group stage with a 2-2 draw against Mozambique and a goalless stalemate with Egypt before falling 1-0 to surprise group winners Cape Verde.
The team’s elimination was sealed after Cameroon defeated Gambia 3-2 to ensure that Ghana could no longer progress to the round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.
