The Ghana Football Federation (GFA) has unveiled the four coaches who will be in the dugout when they take on Nigeria in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers playoff in March.
Ghana sacked coach Milovan Rajevac after a disappointing campaign at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) where they crashed out in the group stage after a shock loss to Comoros in their final group game.
The coaching crew will be led by ex Newcastle United Coach Chris Hughton with ex Borussia Dortmund youth team coach Otto Addo as head coach to be assisted by Mas’Ud Didi Dramani.
Ex Middlesbrough midfield enforcer George Boateng will serve as one of the assistants to the crew which has Hughton as technical advisor. Their mandate is to ensure that Ghana beat Nigeria and qualify for the World Cup.
The first game of the playoff will take place in Cape Coast on the 24th of March with the second leg billed to take place in Abuja three days later. Both teams have so far named fresh technical crew for the games.
Nigeria decided to include Emmanuel Amuneke as head coach to the technical crew of Austine Eguavoen who were at the AFCON but crashed out in the round of 16 after a shock 0-1 loss to Tunisia.
