Former Black Stars skipper Stephen Appiah want Ghanaians to throw their weight behind new Black Stars boss Chris Hughton.
Appiah is calling on Ghanaians to support the former Brighton and Hove Albion manager as he takes over as Black Stars coach later this month.
Hughton will begin his time in charge of the national team with the AFCON qualifiers against Angola.
“I mean we all know Chris Hughton, who has coached a lot of clubs in the UK,” he told Citi Sports.
“He came to Ghana and was part of the team that travelled to Qatar for the World Cup. He was the director then and now he is the coach.
“We are all hoping that, we will rally our support behind him and he will bring our Black Stars back from where we use to see the Black Stars.”
Appiah led Ghana to its first World Cup in 2006 and was also part of the Ghana team which made history by reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 2006.
Meanwhile, Hughton is expected in Ghana this week to start preparations for the Angola game.
