Former Ghana international, Augustine Ahinful has applauded authorities to give Chris Hughton the free hands to work.

Hughton, 64, has been named as the new head coach of the Black Stars as Otto Addo's successor.

Addo, who is a Borussia Dortmund talent coach left his role following the country's early at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The former Brighton and Norwich boss will be assisted by George Boateng and Didi Dramani.

However, Ahinful says the trio who worked with Otto Addo must be allowed to work freely.

"Chris Hughton was always going to be the head coach of the team and with George Boateng and Didi Dramani as his assistant coaches, I believe they will thrive but I will only plead that they should be given the free hands to work," he said in an interview.

"We have given them the job and they must be allowed to work," he added.

They are expected to name their Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] against Angola next month in a doubleheader.
