Former Brighton and Hove Albion manager, Chris Hughton has reportedly submitted his application for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.
The Ghana FA are in the hunt for a new coach following the resignation of Otto Addo after the World Cup in Qatar.
Otto Addo left his position to concentrate on his talent development role at Borussia Dortmund.
Reports in the local media suggest Hughton has applied for the job and is favourite to land it due to his experience with the team.
Hughton worked with the national team as a technical advisor during the World Cup playoff against Nigeria and the World Cup tournament.
Meanwhile, the Communications Director of the GFA, Henry Asante Twum has disclosed over 60 coaches have applied for the job.
“The Black Stars is one of the most attractive brands on the continent. Every single day you open the GFA email, you will see someone has applied for the Black Stars coaching job,” he said on Asempa FM.
“Maybe over 60 applications. The Black Stars is very attractive. You cannot have Mohammed Kudus in your team and think the Black Stars are not attractive. It is an attractive brand, no doubt about that.
“Even the very day Coach Otto Addo confirmed he was leaving, we had coaches expressing interest in the job.”
“I’m never surprised that coaches are constantly applying. Most of them are from European countries and some too from South America.”
The Black Stars will return to action in March for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
