Ghana coach Chris Hughton has promised to do everything to make the Black Stars successful.
Hughton was unveiled on Monday morning at the SG Mall in Kumasi, and will be in charge of the national team until December 2024.
The former Brighton boss will be assisted by Didi Dramani and George Boateng, who served under Otto Addo during his reign.
At his unveiling, Hughton expressed his joy after landing the top Ghana job and promised to do everything possible to make the team successful.
“As most of you know, the large majority of my managerial career has been at club level, and also as a player, for those of you who know me would know that I represented the republic of Ireland as a player, so to represent Ghana and the Black Stars as the head coach is something that I am incredibly proud off, it’s something that I will give everything to make the team successful as possible” he said.
The 63-year-old Englishman has had an illustrious coaching career that spans over three decades, having managed several top-tier clubs in England, including Newcastle United, Birmingham City, and Nottingham Forest.
Before landing the Black Stars, Hughton had served at the technical advisor of the national during the World Cup playoff and the tournament proper in Qatar.
He expected to revive the Black Stars who have failed to impress at major tournaments in recent times.
Ghana failed at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon and 2022 World Cup in the Asian country.
His first assignment is against Angola in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers. Ghana will host Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday before the reverse fixture in Luanda on March 27.
Ghana leads the qualifying group after a draw and a win in their first two games, but Angola is close behind, and two wins will give the Black Stars a solid chance to qualify.
