Chris Hughton has the traits and qualities of Jose Mourinho – Majority leader

Majority leader in Parliament, Osei-Kyei-Mensah Bonsu says Chris Hughton is the right man for the Black Stars job insisting he has the qualities and traits of Jose Mourinho.

The former Premier League coach has been strongly linked to the vacant job for the past week.

The Black Stars job became vacant after Milovan Rajevac, who was on a one-year renewable deal was shown the exit after Ghana’s poor showing at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon.

Reports in the local media also suggest that the Ghana Football Association [GFA] want Otto Addo to take over the job.

But the member of Parliament for Suame constituency believes Hughton and Jose share similar traits of building formidable teams with average players and argued Hughton has the qualities of former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss.

“I believe in coaches who put together qualities that you can vouch for. Because he used unsung players to develop his tactics. So technically they may not be good players but tactically if he welds them together to become a strong team then that coach is a very good coach,” the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs said.

“At the moment, the materials are not that good so who can weld them together for us to get a strong team that is what Mourinho did with Porto. He put them together, compact play. So tactically they were good but if you pick one you will realize the player is not good. So, we need a coach who could do that, weld the team so that tactically if we can’t beat you it will be difficult to beat us.” he added.

Chris Hughton led Brighton and Hove Albion to a premier league qualification and maintained their EPL status in the first season.

He has also coached the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest.
