Following Otto Addo's resignation during the World Cup, the Ghana FA named Chris Hughton as the new head coach of the national team on Sunday.

Former Black goalie William Amamoo thinks Hughton's hiring as Black Stars coach is a positive development.

“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.
