Former mayor of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Kojo Bonsu has thrown his weight of support behind Chris Hughton for the vacant Black Stars head coach role.
This comes following Otto Addo’s decision to step down from the position following the expiration of his contract at the end of December.
Ghana failed to advance to the knockout round of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after finishing bottom of Group H with three points.
“I’m in for either a local or expatriate, but also, a coach who is well committed to the team, and let’s pay him well. We like cheap labour and we need to avoid those stuff and allow the coach to make his own selections of players,” Kojo Bonsu told Akoma FM.
Chris Hughton is currently the Technical Advisor of the Black Stars and serves as the conduit between the coaching staff and the federation.
“I will personally go in for Chris Hughton ahead of the current coaches we have if only the man is willing to do the job.”
He added, “We have numerous players that are very good and with a great coach, the team will go further. We should scout for a better coach and allow him to appoint his own assistant coaches.”
