Chris Hughton can win back-to-back AFCONs with Kwesi Appiah as assistant – John Paintsil

Published on: 15 February 2023

Former Ghana defender John Paintsil seems not to be happy with the reappointment of Didi Dramani and George Boateng as assistant coaches of the Black Stars.

The Ghana FA on Sunday appointed Chris Hughton as the head coach of the national team, replacing Otto Addo who resigned after the World Cup.

Hughton will be assisted by Didi Dramani and George Boateng who served under Otto Addo during his reign.

In an interview with Mining City Radio, Painstil asserted Hughton can win back to back AFCON titles with the Black Stars with Kwesi Appiah as his assistant.

"When Chris Hughton gets Kwesi Appiah in his team, they can even win the Nations Cup back-to-back because, with him having that experience, and Kwesi Appiah also having that experience and also knowing the culture of the game, I think that will be all."

Black Stars will be looking to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and many Ghanaians will be hoping that Hughton can lead the team to success by winning next year's Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
