Lawyer Ace Ankomah (Esq.) has decided to step down from his role as the vice chairman of the five-member committee responsible for selecting the next coach of the Black Stars, as announced by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Thursday, January 25.
The committee, chaired by Vice President Mark Addo, also includes Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, Director of Coaching Education at the GFA, Ghana football legend Opoku Nti, and William Caesar Kartey, Chief Director of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The committee was tasked with recommending a new coach to the GFA Executive Council following the dismissal of Chris Hughton as the Black Stars coach on January 23, 2024, in the wake of the team's disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
Sports journalist Saddick Adams reported that Lawyer Ace Ankomah has declined the offer to serve on the committee.
In a post on X, Adams said, "I’m informed that Lawyer Ace Ankomah has declined to serve on the Committee to search for a new Black Stars coach. I have personally called on the President of Ghana to dissolve that Committee, halt the search, and instruct his minister and the GFA to first, render an apology to the people of Ghana."
Adams continued, "Submit technical and management reports, and their budget and investigate the causes of the disaster in Abidjan. Good that Lawyer Ace has been honorable enough to decline. The other members must decline in their interest. The chairman of that committee himself is not fit for purpose. Aluta Continua."
