The Ghana Football Association has sacked coach Chris Hughton after the Black Stars crashed out of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations at the group stage.
Ghana finished on two points in Group B, drawing 2-2 with both Egypt and Mozambique following a 2-1 loss to Cape Verde in their opening game.
The Ghanaians had faint hopes of progressing as one of four best-ranked third placed sides but they were eliminated on Tuesday when results went against them.
Hughton was ppointed head coach in February last year.
The GFA said in a statement on Tuesday that its executive council has also taken a decision to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars and will in the coming days, provide a roadmap on the future direction of the national team.
Former Newcastle United and Brighton manager Hughton, began working as a technical adviser for Ghana in February 2022.
He replaced Otto Addo as boss following the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Ghana finished bottom of Group H with one win from three matches.
Ghana also exited the 2021 Afcon finals in Cameroon at the group stage before suffering the same fate in Cote d’Ivoire.
The GFA had said it was 100% behind Hughton after a fan had a verbal altercation with the coach following their shock defeat by Cape Verde.
It had looked like the 65-year-old would guide the Black Stars to the last 16 with Ghana sitting second in Group B while holding a 2-0 lead over Mozambique in their final group game.
However, the Mambas scored twice in second-half stoppage time to clinch an unlikely draw which ultimately sent the Ghanaians home.
The West Africans had also endured a mixed start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers under Hughton, beating Madagascar with a stoppage-time goal before losing 1-0 to Comoros.
