Chris Hughton finally appointed Black Stars head coach
The Ghana Football Association (GFA), has officially named former Newcastle United and Brighton manager Chris Hughton as new Ghana manager.
The 64-year old has taken on the role of head coach for the Black Stars.
He previously served as technical advisor for the team during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Following the departure of the previous head coach, Otto Addo, the British born Ghanaian was obviously going to be appointed the new gaffer but question is why keep it that long.
Hughton will lead the team with the support of assistant coaches George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani.
“The Ghana Football Association has the pleasure to appoint Chris Hughton as Head Coach of the Black Stars following extensive deliberations between the two parties,” the GFA said.
“The appointment is in line with the vision of the GFA to continue with the project of building a formidable squad that started with Otto Addo in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament.
“Mr Hughton has been the Technical Advisor of the Black Stars for the past twelve months”.
