The Ghana Football Association has officially announced Chris Hughton as the new head coach of the Black Stars after lengthy deliberations between the two sides.
The decision to appoint Hughton follows Otto Addo’s resignation as the team’s head coach following Ghana’s elimination from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Addo took charge of the team with help from George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani after being appointed in March along with Chris Hughton as the team’s technical advisor.
However, more than a month after the position was vacated, the Ghana Football Federation has now announced that Hughton will be next in the Black Stars squad.
