The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed the contract length of Black Stars coach Chris Hughton, revealing that he’s contracted until December 2024.
This was confirmed by the Communications Director of the FA, Henry Asante Twum, during Hughton’s unveiling on Monday in Kumasi.
Asante Twum also disclosed that Hughton’s two assistants, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, are also contracted for the same period.
Hughton’s first assignment as Ghana coach will see him take charge of the Black Stars in their double-header 2023 AFCON qualifier against Angola.
The Black Stars will host Angola in Kumasi on March 23 before facing the Black Antelopes four days later in Luanda as they aim to book their place at next year’s tournament.
Meanwhile, Hughton has already named a 25-man squad to face Angola in a double-header AFCON qualifier.
