In the lead-up to the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Ghana Football Association (FA) boss Kurt Okraku has publicly commended South Africa’s head coach, Hugo Broos, labeling him as a “top guy.”
The endorsement came via Okraku’s official Facebook page, adding an intriguing dimension to the dynamics of the football story as Ghana and South Africa prepare for the continental showdown in Ivory Coast.
Okraku’s praise for Broos raises eyebrows amidst growing scrutiny on the performance of Ghana’s current coach, Chris Hughton, who assumed the reins after Otto Addo departed from the national team.
The timing of Okraku’s endorsement further intensifies speculation surrounding Hughton’s position, as football enthusiasts eagerly await how this development will impact the team’s dynamics and strategy heading into the Afcon tournament.
Ghana has pitched camp in Kumasi to prepare for the 2023 Afcon. The team will play a pre-Afcon-friendly game against Namibia on January 8th.
