Former AshantiGold SC head coach, Thomas Duah, has called on the newly appointed Black Stars\u00a0coach, Chris Hughton, to blend local players with foreign players to have a good team.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old, who replaced Otto Addo as the new head coach of the national team, will be coming to lead the side to glory after decades of failure.<\/p>\n

The former Newcastle United and Brighton boss is expected to name his squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) doubleheader qualifiers against Angola later this month.<\/p>\n

According to him, the locally based players will create competition in the team and will also have a good team with their inclusion.<\/p>\n
