Following the Black Meteors’ catastrophic defeat to Morocco in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, coach Ibrahim Tanko is under great pressure.
The crushing 5-1 defeat in Rabat on Tuesday evening has cast several questions on his leadership and ability to take the side to victory.
Ghanaians are voicing their displeasure with Tanko’s coaching decisions and match tactics. Many supporters are calling into question his team selection, defensive approach, and inability to inspire a comeback after surrendering early goals.
The gravity of the setback has increased the pressure on Tanko, with calls for his dismissal from the coaching job becoming increasingly strident.
The crushing defeat versus Morocco is viewed as a major blow for Ghana’s U-23 squad and their hopes of qualifying for the Olympic Games.
As the blame game continues, the focus has shifted to Tanko’s ability to inspire and prepare the players for their last group stage encounter against Guinea.
Ghana must face Guinea, which defeated Congo earlier in the day and has three points, to advance to the next round.
