Speaking in an interview, Chris Hughton says he is ready to give his expertise to help the Black Stars.

“Yes, and I have a lot of energy. I am going to be involved with Ghana. My father hailed from Ghana and Ghana have two World Cup play-off games against Nigeria. I am involved in that,” he said.

“There is a coach but I have the title of technical advisor and my role will be to support the coach and the staff for these two games.”

“But I am very much looking to get back and have a lot to offer,” he added

For his role as technical advisor, Chris Hughton will be advising the head coach Otto Addo in the upcoming matches.
