Former vice President of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie has backed the FA’s decision to maintain 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.
Speaking to Ghana Sports Online, the former Ghana FA Presidential candidate asserted the decision to retain Didi Dramani and George Boateng is good for the stability of the team.
“The GFA’s decision to retain George Boateng and Mas-Ud Dramani as his assistants is also a good decision by the GFA for stability reasons. He was with them during the qualifiers and the World Cup so it helps with continuity. Even if he [Chris] wants to do an addition to the technical team, the GFA should allow him,” he said.
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.
