Former Ghana international, Laryea Kingston, has lauded the appointment of Chris Hughton as the new head coach of the Black Stars.
The Ghana Football Association [GFA] announced the appointment of the former Republic of Ireland international as the new trainer for the team.
Hughton, who is a former Newcastle United head coach, replaces Otto Addo who left his role following the country’s early exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 64-year-old will be assisted by George Boateng and Didi Dramani.
However, Kingston, who featured 41 times for the country and scored six times, said the former Brighton boss is a solid gaffer.
