In a shocking revelation, Atta Poku claimed that the leaders of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) had been dissatisfied with Hughton’s results as Head Coach and the game against Cape Verde was the last straw that broke camel’s back, hence, Hughton’s sacking.

According to Him, the GFA held a meeting at the premises of the team hotel in Ivory Coast for on Monday, January 15, the night Ghana suffered a defeat to Cape Verde. The meeting went on for hours and continued to the following day at dawn. A decision was arrived on which was to sack Chris Hughton but Gabby Otchere Darko and other government officials convinced the GFA to suspend its decision until after Ghana’s AFCON campaign.
