Former Ghana international William Amamoo has backed Chris Hughton to succeed as Black Stars coach.
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.
According to former Black goalkeeper William Amamoo, the appointment of Hughton as Black Stars coach is a step in the right direction.
“I think it’s a step in the right direction looking at the experience Chris comes with. He has understudied the team so well having worked as a technical adviser to the team during the World and that will serve as his guide to controlling the affairs of the team well” he told Nimdeɛ Fm in Sunyani.
George Boateng and Didi Dramani maintained their posts he assistants to the head coach.
Both coaches worked as assistants to Otto Addo during the World Cup.
“Maintaining George Boateng and Dramani as assistants is probably because Chris feels comfortable working and having them around the table. Every coach wants assistants they trust and I think Chris has experienced that with them,” he added
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.
