The Ghana Football Association has officially appointed Chris Hughton as the new and substantive Head Coach of the Black Stars.
The 64-year-old will be in charge of the Senior National Team over a period of time which is yet to be stated by the association.
The former Newcastle United gaffer has worked with the Football Association over the past twelve months as the Technical Adviser of the Black Stars and has been given the official mandate to lead the Black Stars.
The position became vacant after the FIFA World Cup Tournament where Ghana got ousted in the group stages and Acting Head Coach Otto Addo resigning afterwards.
In a statement from the GFA’s website states “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.
Mr. 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.
Details about the duration of the contract and terms of engagement would be announced in due course.”
Ghana will take on Angola in the AFCON 2023 Qualifiers in March 2023 during the FIFA International Break which will be Chris Hughton’s first game as Black Stars Beach Coach.
