Coach Hughton faces AFCON backlash as Ghana exit looms
Ghana coach Chris Hughton admitted they were in a difficult situation at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) where they are facing early exit from the competition.
The Black Stars are third in Group B with just two points after and an underwhelming opening to their campaign that has left their qualification chances in jeopardy.
Hughton’s men will know their fate on Wednesday when the four best third-placed finishers are determined to complete the 16 teams to advance.
Asked whether he would resign after Ghana drew 2-2 against Mozambique following a late collapse, Hughton said: “Things are very raw right now. It’s an angry place at the moment.
“When you are unable to see a game through, it becomes very difficult. Our performances have not been good. We played three games, conceded two goals in each game and have ourselves in a difficult situation.”
Hughton, a former Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion manager, added he took responsibility for the results.
