Former Black Stars midfielder, Derek Boateng, has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) not to interfere in Chris Hughton’s job.
Hughton, who replaced Otto Addo has been impressive, securing a win and draw respectively in his first two games against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Boateng, who played for Ghana in two AFCON tournaments and two World Cups, believes that Hughton needs support due to his lack of coaching experience in Africa and as a national team coach.
In an interview with Asempa FM, the former Getafe star urged the Ghana FA not to interfere in players’ selection to enable Hughton do his job.
“He needs support from the media, and the GFA should not interfere with his job”
“He should be left to work independently and be allowed to call his choice of players because you can see that he is a very genuine coach so he needs to get that freedom to work so we can see how it goes.”
Hughton will now prepare the Black Stars for their final two games of the qualifiers against Madagascar and the Central African Republic.
The 64-year-old will be hoping to lead the team to their first AFCON trophy in 41 years when the tournament kicks off in Ivory Coast next year.
