Grant Quits as Ghana’s Coach

GRANTAvram Grant has quit his job as Ghana’s head coach after more than two years in charge of the Black Stars, the country’s football association said on Tuesday.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) said in a statement that “the two parties will mutually part ways after their contract ends on February28.”

“Both parties have mutually agreed not to renew the contract upon its expiry,” GFA added.

The Black Stars lost 0-2 to eventual winners Cameroon, and was defeated 0-1 by Burkina Faso in Saturday’s third-place match.
