Robert Sackey is sceptical about Jose Mourinho’s ability to achieve positive results if appointed as the head coach of the Black Stars for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in January 2024.
The former Black Princesses coach argues that the current challenges within the Black Stars present difficulties for any coach to produce desired outcomes.
Consequently, he urges the Ghana Football Association to maintain Chris Hughton as the coach for the tournament.
Sackey asserts that it is too late for a new coach to adequately prepare the team for the tournament, scheduled to be hosted in Ivory Coast.
Concerns have been raised regarding Hughton’s future with the Black Stars, particularly in light of recent results.
Speaking to Asempa FM, Sackey opines that parting ways with Hughton before the tournament would result in a situation reminiscent of the one in 2006.
“We are going toward the end of November and you are talking about appointing a new head coach. It was the same problem we encountered in 2006,” he said.
Before adding, “It’s about psyching. How to be able to motivate the players to go and perform. I feel we should keep the coach because it is too late to sack him.”
“If we sack him and even bring Jose Mourinho, he cannot be able to perform because it is not easy.”
