Ghana’s Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton, believes that player exodus in Ghana’s leagues cannot be prevented.
According to him, players would continue to leave the country to play elsewhere since it is unavoidable that players will desire to ply their trade in Europe.
In an interview with the media following his visit to Sunyani to observe the Ghana Premier League game between Bofoakwa Tano and Real Tamale United FC, the coach explained why he believes players would continue to seek better pastures.
“This is a question for every Head Coach in the last couple of years,” he told Akwaaba Radio.
“There will always be, of course, players that leave here [Ghana] and go and play in Europe and this is something that has happened for quite some time.”
“If you generally gauge the national team, the Black Stars squad has most of the players playing abroad.”
“This is always the challenge, this is a challenge for the local league, the premier league to be at level, a competitive one that, whoever the Black Stars coach is, can look at it and pick from it,” he added.
