Ghana appoints Chris Hughton as new Head Coach

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed former Newcastle care-taker manager Chris Hughton as the new Head Coach of the Black Stars.

The 64-year-old will succeed Otto Addo who resigned from his interim role following Ghana's exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

In a statement, the Ghana FA wrote, “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 Ghana national team for the past twelve months.
