Ghanaian football legend, Mohammed Polo has called for the dismissal of Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton stating that there are better coaches in the local league.
Polo’s comments came on the back of Ghana’s goalless draw against Madagascar at the Kianja Barea Mahamasina in Antananarivo on Sunday, 18th June, 2023.
Ghana’s performance against Madagascar in the penultimate Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers has left more questions than answers on the team’s ability to score goals.
One of those critics is the 1978 AFCON winner who believes that coaches in the Ghana Premier League have what it takes to do better at handling the Black Stars than the former Brighton gaffer.
“In the local league, we have better coaches who play quality football and are far superior to Chris,” Polo told Rainbow Sports.
“We have witnessed the level of excellence they bring to their games and the calibre of players they develop.
These coaches are unquestionably superior to the current coach of the Black Stars.
We must dismiss him and appoint a better coach who understands excellent football.”
Mohammed Polo opined that the local-based coaches are nurturing and churning out more quality players and should be given the chance to be put at the helm of affairs of the Black Stars.
“I want to emphasize that these coaches have played quality football and should be selected or appointed as the head coach of the national team,” Polo stated.
“The quality players we see in the local league are trained and nurtured by our local coaches.
So, if these coaches are developing fantastic players and playing quality football, we should give them the job because they deserve it.”
