Otto Addo has been named the new coach of Ghana’s Black Stars by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Following an Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday in Accra, the former Ghana international will oversee the newly formed Black Stars technical staff, according to the GFA.
Milovan Rajevac, who was fired a week after Ghana’s devastating 2021 Africa Cup of Nations departure, was replaced by Addo.
Chris Hughton, a former Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion manager, has been named as the team’s Technical Advisor.

George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani are also part of the new technical team.

The four-man squad has been assembled to oversee the two matches against Nigerian adversaries.
