Former boss of the Ghana Football Association(GFA), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has advocated for the appointment of Chris Hughton  as the new  Black Stars gaffer.

He says that when the Irishman with Ghanaian descent is appointed coach, he must stay in Ghana  and work  instead  of commuting from Europe.

In the past, certain Black Stars coaches were practically working from Europe while the nation had hired expensive hotels for their stay in Ghana with  only their clothes laying in the room.

According to Nyaho Tamakloe, the GFA must compel the Irishman to stay in Ghana if he is handed the vacant Black Stars job.

“I think Chris Hughton will be the right person because of his background. He has the African background; secondly, he is a coach with experience and also has had the opportunity to know these boys,” Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe told Graphic Sport.

The former Ghana FA chairman added, “If Chris Hughton is given the job, then he should come and stay in Ghana and form his local Black Stars to ensure that the nucleus of the team should come from them. He should be able to create and also train strikers for the Black Stars.”

The Irishman has been working with the Black Stars since March 2021 and was in Qatar as part of the Black Stars technical team.

He has been tipped by many as the heir-apparent to Otto Addo whose contract expired after Ghana's World Cup exit.

Hughton has coached the likes of Norwich City, Newcastle United, and Brighton and Hove Albion among others in England.
