Former Nottingham Forest manager Chris Hughton has been appointed as the new head coach of the Ghana national team, just over a year after his dismissal from the City Ground.
Hughton replaces former Black Stars boss Otto Addo, who resigned from the role following the nation’s exit from the World Cup at the group stage. Hughton has been working as an advisor for the national team for the last 12 months.
The 64-year-old spent just under a year with Forest, but was sacked following a poor start to the 2021/22 season which left the Reds at the bottom of the Championship table. He was replaced by Steve Cooper, who led the team to promotion via the play-offs at the end of the campaign.
