The Black Stars were eliminated from the competition after a defeat to minnows Comoros and lost all their matches at the group stage.
Ghana’s exit from the tournament is the worst performance by the Senior National Team in the AFCON tournament in history.
The majority of Ghanaians have called on the FA to immediately relieve the head coach of the team Milovan Rajevac over his poor performance. The coach, Milovan Rajevac has already stated he would not resign and would make sure he takes Ghana to the 2022 world cup.
