But it worked out that they asked me because I wasn\u2019t working and you know my father was from Ghana, whether I\u2019d be a technical advisor and there were two big qualification games coming up against Nigeria, which we won. Post-World Cup, they asked me if I\u2019d like to be head coach which I didn\u2019t take long to accept.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hughton remains unbeaten in his first three games in charge of Ghana, having won one and drawn the other two.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars will host the Central African Republic (CAR) in the final group game in September with a draw or a win guaranteeing them a place in the continent\u2019s most prestigious tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The former Brighton and Newcastle United manager will be hoping to steer the Black Stars to book a spot in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled to be hosted in Ivory Coast next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"gDyqOasJX4I\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My husband&#039;s manhood is not working but he got someone pregnant - Obra on Adom TV (02-08-23)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gDyqOasJX4I?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otto Addo Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton,\u00a0has described his predecessor Otto Addo as a \u201cvery, very good coach.\u201d The former Premier League manager worked under Addo as the technical advisor prior to the 2022 World Cup playoffs against Nigeria and at the Mundial in Qatar.
