Chris Hughton is a human-centred person, says Didi Dramani after Black Stars appointment

Black Stars assistant coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has lauded Chris Hughton following his appointment as the head coach of the national team.

The Ghana Football Association [GFA] announced that Hughton has taken over the team from Otto Addo who resigned after Ghana’s exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

However, Didi, who is a former Asante Kotoko head coach lauded the former Brighton boss following his appointment.

“He is a human-centred person. He connects people a lot and the person who connects people a lot tells you that he is someone who really stands out for development.

“At that [Black Stars] level, you need people who will connect and work so that you bring your experience to bear so completely he is a human-centred person who connects people around,” the 56-year-old remarked.

Chris Hughton will be assisted by George Boateng and Didi Dramani, two of whom were part of the country’s technical team at the global showpiece.

The former Spurs and Newcastle United boss will be in charge of a call-up for his first assignment against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers in March.
