Hughton was appointed as the Black Stars’ head coach back in February 2023. He initially joined the national team in February 2022 as technical advisor to the Ghana national team’s coaching staff.

“The Executive Council has also taken a decision to dissolve the technical team of the Black Stars.
“The Ghana Football Association will in the coming days provide a roadmap on the future direction of the Black Stars.”
