Former Ghana International Augustine Arhinful, wants the Ghana Football Association to properly explain the role of the newly appointed technical advisor to the Black Stars technical team.
The GFA on Wednesday 8th February, 2022 announced the appointment of Chris Hughton as the technical advisor to the newly formed technical team led by Otto Addo.
Aston Villa U-23 manager George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani have also been appointed as assistant coaches.
However, Ahinful posits the GFA need to explain to Ghanaians what exactly Chris Hughton’s role is.
“They have to explain to us so we will know what the situation is,” he told Accra based Citi Sports.
“If you tell me the GFA have a Technical Director in Lippert and a Technical Advisor in Chris Hughton, and then a head coach and his assistants, then it should be made clear to us.
“Advisor as in what? So what if Otto Addo does not need his advice at that point in time? Advisor as in every now and then he’s with the team or what? We need to be clear on this.
“Because the future lies ahead of us and after March, we have the AFCON 2023 qualifiers, so we need to know where the team is headed and that is what we have to be concerned about,” he added.
The newly constituted technical team will lead the Black Stars in the World Cup playoff.
The Black Stars will take on the Super Eagles at the Cape Coast stadium on March 24 before travelling to Nigeria for the 2nd leg at the Abuja Sports stadium on Sunday, March 27, 2022.
