Chris Hughton never applied for Black Stars job - Henry Asante Twum

Spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Henry Asante Twum has revealed that Chris Hughton never applied for the Black Stars vacant job.

Following the sacking of Milovan Rajevac last month after Black Stars disappointing performance at the just ended 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon, the former Irish manager was linked to the job.

However, on Wednesday, Otto Addo has been named as the interim manager for the team ahead of the 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria next month with Hughton serving as the technical advisor for the team.

Quizzed if the former Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion manager applied for the job, Asante Twum insisted that Hughton never applied for the job.

“Chris Hughton didn’t apply for the Black Stars head coaching job,” he told Kumasi based Sikka FM.

Meanwhile, George Boateng and Didi Dramani have been appointed as the assistant coaches for the Black Stars ahead of the tie against the Super Eagles.

The Black Stars will take on the Super Eagles at the Cape Coast stadium on March 24 before travelling to Nigeria for the 2nd leg at the Abuja Sports stadium on Sunday, March 27, 2022.
