Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former Newcastle United manager, Chris Hughton has explained his role as the technical advisor for the Ghana national team.<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old has been appointed by the Ghana Football Association to give support to head coach Otto Addo, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani to help prepare the Black Stars for the upcoming 2023 AFCON qualifiers and the 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The quartet’s deals will expire at the end of December.<\/p>\n

Chris Hughton in an interview explained why he accepted to work with Otto Addo.<\/p>\n

“Before the qualification games I knew of Otto, his history and where he worked – but I didn’t know him personally,” Hughton told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

“I knew he was well-thought-of and has had a good football education. He is at Dortmund, which is a very forward-thinking club and he is part of the processes there.<\/p>\n

“We have got on very well and are having regular conversations now.”<\/p>\n

Hughton says his role will be to support Addo and his staff and “take the pressure” off the technical team.<\/p>\n

“I know the balance,” Hughton said.<\/p>\n

“I will be involved in lots of the dialogue with the technical staff but with regards to squad, team selection and tactics, I know that is the responsibility of the coach. Any way I can help him and support him in that, I will do.”<\/p>\n

Addo spent his entire playing career in Germany but won 15 international caps for Ghana, featuring at the 2006 World Cup.<\/p>\n
