Otto Addo is a very good coach – Chris Hughton

Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton has heaped praises on his predecessor Otto Addo .

Speaking about how he landed the Ghana coaching job, Hughton praised Addo, describing him as a good coach and also revealed how he got the nod to be the head coach of the Black Stars.

“We hadn’t done so well in AFCON. They changed the coach and wanted to bring in another coach, Otto Addo, who’s one of the assistants at Dortmund, a very good coach. So I was here on holidays and most people thought I was there for the job but it wasn’t the case. But it worked out that they asked me because I wasn’t working and you know my father was from Ghana, whether I’d be a technical advisor and there were two big qualification games coming up against Nigeria, which we won. Post-World Cup, they asked me if I’d like to be head coach which I didn’t take long to accept.” – he added

Hughton remains unbeaten in his first three games in charge of Ghana, having won one and drawn the other two.

The Black Stars will host the Central African Republic (CAR) in the final group game in September with a draw or a win guaranteeing them a place in the continent’s most prestigious tournament.
