Ex-Newcastle, Norwich and Nottingham Forest manager replaces Otto Addo, who stepped down after the World Cup in Qatar

Former Ireland international Chris Hughton has been appointed as head coach of the Ghana natioanal team.

The duration of the 64-year-old’s contract has yet to be announced. The former Newcastle United, Birmingham City, Norwich City and Nottingham Forest manager served as technical advisor to the Black Stars for the last 12 months.

“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 Ghana Football Association (GFA) said in a statement.

“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.

Former Ghana coach Otto Addo stepped down after the World Cup in Qatar, where Ghana finished last in its group.

“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,” the GFA said.
