Former Ghana captain John Mensah has urged Ghanaians to support new Black Stars coach Chris Hughton.
Hughton, who previously managed Brighton and Hove Albion, replaces Otto Addo, who resigned after the World Cup.
The former Brighton boss will be assisted by Didi Dramani and George Boateng, who served under Addo during his tenure.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM, the former Sunderland defender asserted Hughton is in to do an excellent job and has therefore called for support for the Irish-Ghanaian.
"It is time as Ghanaians to support Black Stars wholeheartedly and put everything aside ahead of the qualifiers.
"Chris is in to do an excellent job and want success for the Black Stars so we should support him so that he won't feel bad. Our support as a nation will boost him to make rightful decisions and make the nation proud once again.
"There's no time again than to throw our full support for Hughton to build a formidable team that can compete” he said.
Hughton’s first assignment will be against Angola later this month in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers. Ghana will play Angola in a doubleheader in March.
