Sam George, a politician in Ghana, has commented on Chris Hughton’s selection as the Black Stars’ new coach.
On Sunday, the Ghana FA named the former manager of Newcastle United and Brighton as the next head coach of the national team.
In an interview with Joy Prime monitored by Pak MediaGh, the member of parliament for Ningo-Prampram disclosed that the Ghana FA had chosen to name Chris Hughton as Otto Addo’s replacement after the latter resigned from the position following the Black Stars’ elimination 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.
After the official announcement by the Ghana FA on Sunday, Sam George reacted on his social media pages.
“This Country called Ghana eh, may God just continue to give us grace”
“When I said this decision was done about a month ago, they wanted my head for breakfast. Well, in the words of Fabrizio Romano, Here We Go!”
