Irish-Ghanaian trainer Chris Hughton was unveiled as the head coach of the Black Stars on Monday morning at the luxurious SG Mall.
The former Brighton and Nottingham Forest manager has signed a one and half year contract with the Ghana FA.
Right after his unveiling, Hughton returned to Accra to lead the Black Stars team to open training.
Hughton held his first training session with eight players at the Accra Sports Stadium later on Monday.
The 63-year-old invited 25 players for the games, with only Tariq Lamptey withdrawing from the squad due to injury.
However, FC Koln defender has been handed a late call up to replace the Brighton defender.
17 players have reported to camp, with other players expected to join their teammates this morning before the team depart to Kumasi later in the day.
The four-time African champions face Palancas Negras on Thursday in a match many expect to be difficult as both sides seek to maintain their unbeaten start to the qualifiers.
The Black Stars are unbeaten in Kumasi for the past two decades and are heavy favourites to defeat Angola before travelling to Luanda for the second match.
Ghana leads the qualifying group after a draw and a win in their first two games, but Angola is close behind, and two wins will give the Black Stars a solid chance to qualify.
The players in camp are, Abdul Manaf Nurudeen, Joseph Wollacott, Alexander Djiku, Denis Odoi, Kingsley Schindler, Patrick Kpozo, Daniel Amartey, Joseph Aidoo, Andre Ayew, Joseph Painstil, Ransford Yeboah, Inaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, Majeed Ashimeru and Edmund Addo.
