Ghana legend Mohammed Polo has urged the Ghana Football Association to make the right appointment for the vacant Black Stars head coach job.
This comes after Otto Addo’s decision to step down from the role when his contract runs out later this month.
The Ghana FA is currently on the hunt for a new coach with an eye on the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled to be played in Ivory Coast.
Former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has been tipped by many as the worthy successor having served as the technical advisor of the Black Stars over the last nine months.
“It will depend because we haven’t seen him [Chris Hughton] as a head coach. We’ve seen Otto Addo and that is why we were so confident and then it was given to him with [Chris Hughton] as the assistant.
“Now Otto Addo is exiting, who is coming on board and what is he coming with? Not until we see him perform, we just cannot take any risk,” Mohammed Polo said as reported by Class Sports.
The former Hearts of Oak head coach added, “How many coaches were there at the Black Stars camp – I think about ten of them or so including the local ones but I don’t know what the management – GFA management, is thinking about.
“But it is very important to identify who can take the technical direction to the highest level.”
