Maverick Ghanaian politician affiliated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sam George claims the Black Stars coaching job has been handed to Chris Hughton yet the FA is merely engaging in a charade to fool Ghanaians.
After stating it had received more than 1000 applications for the open Black Stars coaching position, the Football Association is currently in the process of hiring a new coach.
However, Sam George who is the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram in an interview on Joy Prime revealed that the Ghana FA has decided to appoint Chris Hughton as the successor of Otto Addo following the latter’s resignation from the role after the Black Stars exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Sam George claims that the choice has long been set since the Ghana FA wants to pick someone they can have “control” over.
“That [coaching] job they have given it to Chris Hughton already so why are we wasting our time?” he quizzed on Joy Prime.
“They have given it to him because they want someone they can manipulate, someone they can use to do their business, someone they can tell him to bring his team selection [with changes being made with regards to agency callups] regardless of how long the person has played or not played.
“People are using GFA to make money, they are using it to feed their family.”, he added.
