The 63-year-old arrived in the country last week and is one of the frontrunners to become Ghana’s next head coach.

The National team is currently without a coach after Milovan Rajevac was dismissed following the team’s group-stage exit at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

So far, Hughton and Borussia Dortmund’s trainer scout Otto Addo are the two names who are being considered for the pending vacant coaching role.

However, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) prefers Addo, while the government also favours Hughton.

According to a report by 3news monitored by GhArticles.com, Hughton met with President Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, where he was “assured of becoming Ghana’s next coach.”

The report adds that the President “threw his weight behind” the former West Ham United and Newcastle United boss to rebuild the Black Stars.
