Black Stars technical advisor Chris Hughton has spoken out about working with the team’s head coach, Otto Addo.
The former Newcastle United and Brighton manager was appointed to the Black Stars’ coaching staff ahead of the 2022 World Cup playoff games against Nigeria.
Hughton, along with Addo, Didi Dramani, George Boateng, and Richard Kingston, oversaw Ghana’s qualification for the World Cup at the expense of the Super Eagles.
“The relationship [with Otto Addo] has been very good,” Hughton said to TV3.
“I must admit I knew of Otto as a player who played for Ghana and spent most of his time in Germany. But I didn’t know him personally.”
“My first impression when I met him was very good. I think that was reciprocated. I think the opportunity to work with him was something that was exciting for me and I think it goes both ways.
“We get on very well but also, it’s about putting a technical team in place and that is done very well,” he added.
Ghana will face Brazil and Nicaragua in friendlies this month in preparation for the World Cup, which begins on November 20.
Black Stars will face Portugal, followed by matches against South Korea and Uruguay in the group stage.
