Chris Hughton Ghana role explained as former Nottingham Forest boss helps at World Cup

Eagle-eyed football fans have spotted a familiar face at the Qatar World Cup in Chris Hughton.

The former Nottingham Forest head coach is working with Ghana as a technical advisor and has been present at their World Cup matches against Portugal and South Korea so far. Ghana face a pivotal showdown with Uruguay in Group H at 3pm and currently sit in second place, two points ahead of South Korea in third and today's opponents in fourth.

Hughton left the Reds 15 months ago and was replaced by Steve Cooper, who steered the club to Premier League promotion last season. Former Newcastle and Brighton boss Highton departed the City Ground in September last year after Forest picked up just one point in their opening seven matches of the Championship season.
