Black Stars turn to Hughton

Chris Hughton has been named the new head coach of the Ghana national football team. Hughton, whose father is Ghanaian, had been working as a technical advisor for the Black Stars since February 2022. He replaces Otto Addo, who stepped down after the team finished at the bottom of Group H with one win in three games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is Hughton’s first managerial position since he was fired from Nottingham Forest in September 2021. Can he lead Ghana back to glory? Make your bets for the upcoming qualifiers with Betway.

Hughton has previously managed Newcastle, Norwich, and Birmingham, and led Brighton to promotion from the Championship during his five-year tenure. He was a defender for Tottenham Hotspur and the Republic of Ireland during his playing career. The Ghana Football Association stated that the length of Hughton’s contract and the specifics of his agreement would be announced at a later date. The Black Stars will face Angola home and away in March as they continue to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
