Black Stars technical team at 2022 World Cup unchanged – Ghana FA

Published on: 21 March 2023

Black Stars coach Chris Hughton is expected to work with the technical team that went to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Hughton was unveiled on Monday by the Ghana Football Association and will take charge until December 2024.

The former Brighton boss will be assisted by George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, who signed contracts with the Ghana FA.

At the unveiling, the Ghana FA Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum some additions have been made but the technical team that went to the World Cup have been maintained.

This means Richard Kingston will continue to serve as the goalkeepers trainer of the national team.

Initial media reports claimed that the Ghana Football Association had settled on ex-Black Stars goalkeeper, Adam Kwarasey, for the role at the expense of Kingston.

“We have not made any changes to the team that went to the World Cup. There have been some additions but Kingston is still the goalkeepers’ coach.”

The four-time African champions face Palancas Negras on Thursday at the Baba Yara Stadium in a match many expect to be difficult as both sides seek to maintain their unbeaten start to the qualifiers.

The Black Stars are unbeaten in Kumasi for the past two decades and are heavy favourites to defeat Angola before travelling to Luanda for the second match.

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.
