Majority Leader, Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has described the former Tottenham and West Ham boss as a man who can build a team with average materials.
According to various sources the Football Association is set to appoint the Ghanaian born coach as the new Black stars coach.
His comments is alleged to mean Chris Hughton is the government’s choice to become Black Stars coach.
“Chris Hughton is a coach who knows how to build with average materials and that’s Ghana’s situation now,” the Majority Leader told Accra-based Angel FM.
“Our materials are not good so we need Chris to weld. Otto Addo is just a second coach for Dortmund.”
The Black Stars are currently without a coach following the sacking of Milovan Rajevac after the team’s group-stage exit at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Hughton and Otto Addo are, however, the frontrunners for the vacant job, although the government and the GFA are not in agreement.
The former, though, is currently in the country and was recently pictured meeting with the father of Callum Hudson-Odoi in Accra.
Meanwhile, the delegation from the FA is also reported to have traveled to Germany to speak with Addo over the vacant coaching role.
