George Amoako and Randy Abbey's comments about Chris Hughton don't represent the view of the GFA - Asante Twum

Published on: 26 July 2023

The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has addressed the recent comments made by Executive Council members George Amoako and Dr. Randy Abbey concerning the performance of Black Stars coach Chris Hughton.

Twum asserted that both Amoako and Abbey were expressing their personal views and not speaking on behalf of the GFA.

In separate statements, George Amoako and Dr. Randy Abbey had expressed their dissatisfaction with the 64-year-old coach's performance since his appointment in March.

Ghana picked one win and two draws in the three matches under Hughton's charge, leading to scrutiny and critique.

Henry Asante Twum sought to clarify the situation by emphasizing that the views expressed by George Amoako and Dr. Randy Abbey were their personal opinions and not indicative of the Ghana Football Association's official stance.

“Let’s not only focus on the role they occupy. These are respected people [George Amoako and Dr Randy Abbey] in our football industry but regardless of being Executive Council members," he told Guide Radio.

"They have got every right to express their views when they think things are not going well and so for me let’s see it as two individuals putting their opinions across rather than positioning them as people who are speaking on behalf of the FA."
