Former Brighton and Hove Albion gaffer, Chris Hughton has explained his role as the technical advisor for the Ghana national team.
After playing a vital role in Ghana's qualification for the 2022 World Cup, the 63-year-old has been awarded a contract until December 2022 by the Ghana Football Association [GFA].
Hughton will be providing technical assistance to Otto Addo, who is the head coach of his assistant coaches, Didi Dramani and George Boateng.
Chris Hughton in an interview explained why he accepted to work with Otto Addo.
"Before the qualification games I knew of Otto, his history and where he worked - but I didn't know him personally," Hughton told BBC Sport Africa.
"I knew he was well-thought-of and has had a good football education. He is at Dortmund, which is a very forward-thinking club and he is part of the processes there.
"We have got on very well and are having regular conversations now."
Hughton says his role will be to support Addo and his staff and "take the pressure" off the technical team.
"I know the balance," Hughton said.
"I will be involved in lots of the dialogue with the technical staff but with regards to the squad, team selection, and tactics, I know that is the responsibility of the coach. Any way I can help him and support him in that, I will do."
Addo spent his entire playing career in Germany but won 15 international caps for Ghana, featuring at the 2006 World Cup.
