Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram constituency, Sam George, has disclosed that Chris Hughton has been given the Black Stars coaching position.

Sam George claims the former technical advisor of the Black Stars been named as the new coach, although an official announcement is soon to come.

"That [coaching] job they have given it to Chris Hughton already so why are we wasting our time?” he quizzed on Joy Prime.

“They have given it to him because they want someone they can manipulate, someone they can use to do their business, someone they can tell him to bring his team selection [with changes being made with regards to agency callups] regardless of how long the person has played or not played.

“People are using GFA to make money, they are using it to feed their family.”, he added.

Hughton served as the Black Stars' technical adviser at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Ghanaian with Irish ancestry was chosen as Otto Addo's technical advisor in a hastily put together technical staff for the World Cup play-off against Nigeria in February.

Milovan Rajevac, a Serbian trainer, was fired following Ghana's disappointing performance at the 2021 African Cup of Nations competition in Cameroon. Otto Addo was appointed coach, with George Boateng and Masaud Didi Dramani promoted to assistant roles.

In a two-legged play-off game, the revamped technical team orchestrated a qualification victory against bitter rivals Nigeria.

Ghana is searching for Otto Addo's replacement as his six-month contract comes to an end.

The Irishman has been a member of the Black Stars technical staff since March 2021, and he was in Qatar at that time.

Many have predicted that he will succeed Otto Addo, whose contract ended following Ghana's World Cup loss.

Hughton has coached teams in England including Norwich City, Newcastle United, and Brighton and Hove Albion.
