Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reportedly reached a compromise with the Sports Ministry for manager Chris Hughton to handle the senior national team, Black Stars.
According to several reports, there was a meeting on Friday, February 4 between the GFA and the Sports Ministry in which they reached an agreement to settle on Hughton as the new coach of the Black Stars.
Chris Hughton will be announced as Milovan Rajevac’s successor in the coming days and will be in charge of next month’s World Cup play-off against Nigeria.
Gossips24.com understands that there have been a lot of movements in the last 24 hours concerning who becomes the coach.
As reported earlier, Otto Addo was GFA’s choice while the government were keen on Hughton.
Otto Addo was set to be named interim coach for the Nigeria game.
This followed a meeting in Germany between the former Ghana international and GFA officials, including president Kurt Okraku.
The GFA also met Dortmund who agreed to allow their assistant coach, Otto Addo, to travel to Ghana and lead the Black Stars against West African rivals in late March.
However, the GFA have backed down and accepted the government’s choice.
