The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has named Chris Hughton as the new head coach of the Black Stars, following thorough discussions between the two parties. This appointment comes after Otto Addo stepped down as the team’s head coach following Ghana’s exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Addo had served as head coach with support from George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, who were appointed in March, while Hughton acted as the team’s technical advisor. But after a month of the head coaching position being open, the GFA has now announced Hughton as the next head coach for the Black Stars.
