Former Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom has blamed poor preparation for the Black Stars 2023 Africa Cup of Nations failure.
Ghana bowed out at group stage after failing to win any of their group games. The West Africa powerhouse drew two games and suffered a defeat against, finishing in third place in Group B, behind Cape Verde and Egypt.
However, the former Ghana international has attributed the Black Stars calamitous performance to lack of better preparation for the tournament.
“I emphasized on adequate preparation before the tournament. I think the team should have been there weeks before the start of the competition so players can adapt to the weather. We were playing our games at night but you could see our players were tired. So I think lack of preparation cost us”
Meanwhile, the Ghana FA relieved off Chris Hughton and the entire Black Stars technical team following the team’s poor showing at the AFCON. The FA has set up a five-member committee to search for a new coach to take over the national team.
