Chris Hughton will officially be unveiled as the new head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars.

The 64-year-old replaces Otto Addo as the new head trainer for the team. Addo, who is the talent coach of German side, Borussia Dortmund left his role following the country's early exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The former Brighton boss will be assisted by George Boateng and Didi Dramani as announced by the Ghana Football Association [GFA].

The contract details and Hughton's tenure of stay will be made known by the country's football governing body.

Before his appointment as the head coach of the team, Hughton worked as the technical advisor for the team when Otto Addo was in charge as the head coach of the team ahead of the playoff games against Nigeria.

Following Ghana's qualification to the Mundial, Hughton kept his role.

The former Newcastle United and Tottenham will be aiming to lead the Black Stars to its glory days due to his rich experience in the world of football.
