Former Norwich City and Brighton coach Chris Hughton is in Ghana for talks with the Ghana Football Association and the Ministry of Youth and Sports about occupying the vacant Black Stars job.

Ghana is without a coach after parting ways with the inept Serbian gaffer Milovan Rajevac barely six months after his appointment.

He supervised over a disastrous AFCON 2021 campaign where Ghana crashed out of the tournament at the Group stages in a group that had Gabon, Comoros and Morocco.

According to reports, a member of the ruling government is scheming for the former Norwich coach to be appointed as the new Black Stars coach.

The Irishman was sacked by English Championship side Nottingham Forest in September 2021 after a string of six defeats and has since been unemployed.

Hughton  previously won promotion with Brighton and Newcastle United while he also guided Birmingham City to the play-offs..

He was out of work for 14 months since leaving Brighton in May 2019 after four and half years in charge of the Seagulls.
Chris Hughton is the first black man to play for Ireland national team and was born to a Ghanaian father and and Irish mother in England.

The likes of Borussia Dortmund assistant coach Otto Addo, Aston Villa youth coach George Boateng and former Cameroon assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko are all under consideration for the Ghana hot seat.
