“Yes, I have confidence in Chris, the assistant coach George Boateng who is a personal friend I know him and he is very good”
“I have worked with Didi Dramani and I was one of the first people to tell him to take a shot at a big team, you are good, I have seen you at lower level football, women football but take a shot at a top team, Didi’s question was, Chairman, who is going to employ me and I said I will recommend him so I recommended him to Dr KK Sarpong and I he was hired by Kotoko”
“I’m so proud that these people are the ones managing the Black Stars as technical men and I have every confidence in them to deliver” he said.
Hughton's first game in charge of the Black Stars will be against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
