The sports presenter, widely known to be a drug addict, was exacting the punishment in typical Ghanaian fashion where parents pull the ears of kids to show their displeasure for not listening to advice.
The controversial incident took place in the full glare of top officials in a chaotic campaign in the North African country.
The famous presenter walked bravely to the coach and pulled his ear, which sparked angry reaction from the soft-spoken coach in an ugly ending to the country’s exit from the continent’s flagship football tournament.

It’s unclear what sparked the silly, cheeky, provocative and low-class move by the journalist, who is an avid critic of the coach.
According to GHANAsoccernet, the drama unfolded by the pool side of the five-star Forsan El Tolip Hotel in Ismailia.
It appears the journalist was given an unfettered access to the team, leading to the brave physical attack on the Ghanaian gaffer.
The famous journalist, who has huge fan base in the West African nation, has become a thorn in the flesh of the former Ghana captain.
He has been on one-man crusade to get him sacked after the team exited the competition.
