Accra, March 21 (Ians) Former Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has been named the new head coach of Ghana’s national football team.
The Ghana Football Association said at a ceremony in Kumasi, the country’s second-largest city, that Hughton would be in charge of the team until December 31 next year, reports Xinhua.
The former Black Stars technical director shared his excitement and said he hoped to lead the four-time African champions back to their glory days.
“To represent Ghana and the Black Stars as the head coach is something I am incredibly proud of. I’ll give everything to make the team as successful as possible,” said British-born Hughton, who is the son of a Ghanaian father, and also won 53 caps for Ireland.
The former Brighton manager was named last month as the replacement for Otto Addo, who resigned following Ghana’s group stage exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Ghana, having lost their first match against Portugal 3-2, got their first points with Monday’s win in a group where Portugal and Uruguay clash later in the day. South Korea, who drew their opening game with Uruguay and will take on Portugal in the last round match, while Ghana will face Uruguay.

Doha (Qatar), Nov 28 (Ians) The Group H clash between Portugal and Uruguay promises to be the headline act on Day 9 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Monday. Here are four things to look out for:
1. Serbia changes against Cameroon
Serbia manager Dragan Stojkovic hinted at major changes to his starting lineup after a 2-0 loss to Brazil in their tournament opener on Thursday.
Dusan Vlahovic, who has been recovering from a groin problem, could start after making a 30-minute cameo against the South American giants while Filip Kostic is also expected to be available after having missed the first game with a thigh injury.
Cameroon, who are seeking their first victory at the World Cup since 2002, are hoping to rebound from a 1-0 loss to Switzerland in their opening encounter. Manager Rigobert Song will be wanting more from Bayern Munich forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who struggled against the Swiss.

Doha, Nov 16 (Ians) With the 2022 FIFA World Cup approaching, the participating teams are all fine-tuning their preparations for the quadrennial gala.
The star-studded Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo are the favourites in Group H, but it is by no means a one-horse race, as Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana will all have what it takes to make the competition wide open.
Portugal enter the scene on November 24 by taking on Ghana, then meet Uruguay before their final group game with South Korea.
In 2018, Portugal crashed out in the round of 16 after a 2-1 defeat to Uruguay. And in Brazil in 2014, Portugal suffered a group stage exit despite a 2-1 victory over Ghana. Pushing the timeline backwards further, South Korea enjoyed a shock win over Portugal en route to their history-making success in 2002.
For the 2016 European champions, their confidence comes from superstar Ronaldo. The 37-year-old Manchester United hitman has struggled for...
