Chris Hughton is unfit for Black Stars job, sack him – Mohammed Polo

Former Ghanaian international Mohammed Polo has been a vocal supporter of Chris Hughton’s dismissal as Black Stars coach.

With Ghana’s lackluster performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, pressure has mounted on the Irish-Ghanaian trainer.

Hughton’s coaching style has come under fire when the Black Stars narrowly lost to Comoros at the Moroni Stadium, despite winning 1-0 against Madagascar in the opening World Cup qualifying match.

Polo voiced his displeasure with the national team’s performance and called for a leadership change in an interview with Koforidua-based Bryt FM.

The 1978 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champion feels that Hughton has overstayed his welcome and is unfit for the position, claiming the former manager of the Premier League is bad for Ghanaians.

“I think Chris Hughton has overstayed his welcome. To be frank, he does not fit the job. He is destroying our football; he is even making things worse for us. We must show him the exit door and appoint someone who can make things better for us,” Polo declared.

“As a legend of the game, I realised that Chris Hughton’s led technical team are not good and don’t even know what they are doing.”

The call for Hughton’s dismissal adds to the growing chorus of dissatisfaction among football enthusiasts in Ghana.
