Chris Hughton, the former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has arrived in Ghana to be interviewed for the position of head coach of the Black Stars.

Chris Hughton, the former West Ham manager, has arrived in Ghana to take over the vacant Black Stars role. 



Hughton was born in the United Kingdom to an Irish mother, but his father is Ghanaian, therefore he has Ghanaian ancestry. 

According to Joy Sports, he is one of four coaches that will be interviewed for the Ghana coaching post in the coming days. 


Milovan Rajevac, the four-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champion, was fired on Wednesday, leaving the team without a coach.


The Ghana Football Association (GFA) cut ties with the Serbian after the management committee praised a technical report. 


Following Ghana's terrible performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon, Rajevac was under a lot of pressure. 


The 68-year-old oversaw the Black Stars' worst showing at the tournament, with the side finishing last in Group C with no wins. 


However, because of his dismissal, the GFA would have to find a successor before the Black Stars meet Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup play-offs in March.


Hughton has managed a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and West Ham United. 


He also has some international experience, having served as the Republic of Ireland's assistant manager from 2003 to 2005. 


Borussia Dortmund assistant coach Otto Addo, Aston Villa youth coach George Boateng, and former Black Stars assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko are among the other managers linked to the vacant coaching position.
