The Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has called for the changing of the Black Stars head coach if that is what can win the nation its fifth continental trophy.
Ghana is heading to another Cup of Nations next year from the back of the most disastrous campaign in 2022 in Cameroon.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri called on the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, to ensure that the Black Stars do not merely participate in the tournament.
“Minster, you’ll agree with me that these days our Black Stars is becoming a pale shadow of itself,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh said.
“As we are heading towards another African tournament, we urge you to do everything and anything, including the changing of our national coach, if need be.
“We can’t just go there and be part of the number of teams. We’ve always said that we are four-time champions; this thing is becoming old time glory.
“We want to do something for ourselves and minister I know you can do it. Please help and let’s get our Black Stars in a good shape.”
Chris Hughton is expected to lead the four-time champions to the tournament to be held in La Cote d’Ivoire.
He has already submitted a 55-man list as his provisional squad for the tournament to the the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Ghana are in Group B and start their campaign on Sunday, January 14, 2024 against Cape Verde before later taking on Egypt and Mozambique.
The tournament itself starts on Saturday, January 13, 2024 and ends on Sunday, February 11, 2024.
