The GFA statement, made public Hughton’s sack on its website also added it would re-strategize for the future of the national team.

“The Ghana Football Association 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.

Hughton first joined Ghana as technical director in February 2022 before taking the head coach role a year later.
