Chris Hughton is the next Black Stars’ head coach, as announced by the Ghana Football Association.
The appointment of Hughton follows the resignation of Otto Addo as the team’s head coach after Ghana’s exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
A statement from the football association said “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 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.”
Hughton has been the technical advisor of the Black Stars for the past twelve months.
The GFA has also decided to maintain assistant coaches George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani.
The three coaches were part of the technical team for the World Cup in Qatar.
According to the GFA, details about the duration of the contract and terms of engagement would be announced in due course.
