Black Stars new coach Chris Hughton is expected to arrive in Ghana next week ahead of the Angola clash in the 2023 AFCON qualifier.
The Irish-Ghanaian was recently appointed to lead the four-time African champions following the exit of Otto Addo after the World Cup in Qatar.
Hughton was expected to arrive in Ghana before March for his unveiling but unfortunately lost his dad, and had to stay in the UK to mourn his father’s passing.
According to Henry Asante Twum, the former Brighton boss will arrive in the West African country next week for his unveiling and also officially release name of players for the clash.
“Chris had to stay in the UK because he lost his dad and needed time with his family and plan the burial service. That’s why he’s not been to Ghana yet,” Asante Twum said in an interview with 3Sports.
“We expect Chris in Ghana next week if everything goes according to plan. We are constantly engaging on his unveiling, media engagement, and build-up to the games,” Henry added.
“He is working, Chris and his assistants will be unveiled together. When he arrives we will communicate the date and venue for his unveiling and then use that as part of the build-up to the game against Angola. There will also be squad announcements, details of the contract, and the targets set for the new technical team.”
Ghana will play Angola in Kumasi on March 23 before travelling to Luanda for the reverse fixture four days later.
The Black Stars are joint top of Group E alongside Angola with both teams with four points after two games.
