Former Black Stars striker Augustine Arhinful has expressed the opinion that the Ghana Football Association should retain Chris Hughton as the Black Stars manager.
Arhinful emphasised that dismissing the former Tottenham boss with only about a month remaining before the Africa Cup of Nations would pose a risk and is not the most prudent decision.
He underscored that the primary challenge the manager is confronting is the selection of the right players for the game.
“From a technical point of view, I don’t think it’s the best thing to do. Because between now and the Nations Cup is just one month, if I’m not lying. You can take the risk by relieving him of his position but I don’t think that is something we have to subscribe to,” he told Angel FM.
“There is still more room, especially when it comes to picking the players for the matches. We have spoken a lot about the call-ups; now it’s picking the players.”
The Black Stars’ technical team, comprising Chris Hughton, George Boateng, Didi Dramani, and Richard Kingson, has faced significant criticism in light of recent poor results.
The team suffered their third defeat in the last four games, losing 1-0 against Comoros in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on November 21, 2023.
