The Ghana Football Association has elevated Chris Hughton, the Black Stars’ technical adviser under Otto Addo, to senior coach.
Nii Odartey Lamptey said Chris Hughton had been with the Black Stars for a few months and had heard all the “misconceptions” about the group in his remarks regarding the appointment.
“Chris Hughton was part of the Black Stars technical team at the World Cup in Qatar so I am tempted to believe with what the media reports, he might have read all and heard it.”
“If Chris Hughton wants to change our system, this is the right time for him to do it. Having served as the technical advisor, he might have seen so many things. Now he has been awarded the head coach role so I am expecting him to correct those wrongs,” he said in an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM.
Nii Odartey Lamptey believes that it will be difficult for anyone in the hierarchy of the Ghana Football Association to force his wishes on Chris Hughton.
“With his experience and pedigree, I think it will be difficult for someone to influence the job of Chris Hughton.”
