Hughton served as a technical advisor under former Ghana coach Otto Addo during the Qatar 2022 World Cup and is now at the helm of the latter.
“We should not rush the coach because he is now going to build his team, we should not put him under undue pressure so he can make the right call.” Dan Quaye told Bright FM as quoted by FootballGhana.
“Ghana is blessed with talent but the only problem we have is interference. So if they have been given a job they should be allowed to work freely without any interference.”
“I have no problem with Hughton’s appointment but if his work is interfered with he will not be successful. If he is not impressed I believe he will have what it takes to do well.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Sunday evening announced Hughton as the new coach of the Black Stars.
The former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur manager will be assisted by George Boateng and Mas-ud Didi Dramani, an FA statement said.
Hughton’s managerial career has seen him manage at various levels, including previously serving under different managers at Tottenham, where he combined his role as assistant coach for the Republic of Ireland.
In 2008, he was announced as Newcastle United’s first-team coach under Kevin Keegan. By September of that year, he was made caretaker manager following Keegan’s departure.
He was later appointed permanent manager of Newcastle following relegation to the Championship and guided them to promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
Hughton has since managed Birmingham City, Norwich City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest in what has been a fine managerial career so far.
