Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Chris Hughton applies for Black Stars coaching job

Former Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has expressed keen interest in occupying the position of Black Stars head coach.

The 64‐year-old has officially sent through his Curriculum Vitae to the Ghana Football Association, availing himself for the vacant Ghana coaching role. The position became vacant after Ghana’s exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

German-based Ghanaian tactician Otto Addo previously occupied the role but resigned after the Mundial.

Chris Hughton who previously managed Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur was a member of Ghana’s technical team at the World Cup, playing the role as technical advisor.

He is seen as the favourite for the coaching job, however, it’s unclear whether the experienced trainer will take the role on full time basis.
