Former Newcastle United boss, Chris Hughton has reportedly applied for the vacant Black Stars coaching job.
The senior national team has been without a substantive coach following the resignation of Otto Addo following the team’s early elimination at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Germany-based trainer relinquished his role to concentrate on his talent development role at Borussia Dortmund.
According to reports, Hughton who worked with the national team as a technical advisor for the team has submitted his CV for the job.
Meanwhile, the Communications Director of the GFA, Henry Asante Twum has disclosed over 60 coaches have applied for the job.
“The Black Stars is one of the most attractive brands on the continent. Every single day you open the GFA email, you will see someone has applied for the Black Stars coaching job,” he said on Asempa FM.
“Maybe over 60 applications. The Black Stars is very attractive. You cannot have Mohammed Kudus in your team and think the Black Stars is not attractive. It is an attractive brand, no doubt about that.
“Even the very day Coach Otto Addo confirmed he was leaving, we had coaches expressing interest in the job.”
“I’m never surprised that coaches are constantly applying. Most of them are from European countries and some too from South America,” he added.
The Black Stars will return to action in March for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
