Chris Houghton has been appointed as head coach of the Ghana national team until at least 2024, after spending the last year as their technical advisor.
The duration of the 64-year-old's contract has yet to be released but it is believed the former Newcastle, Birmingham, Norwich and Nottingham Forest manager will be there for a minimum of 12 months.
A statement on the Ghana Football Association's website read: "The Ghana Football Association has the pleasure to appoint Chris Hughton as Head Coach of the Black Stars following extensive deliberations between the two parties.
"The appointment is in line with the vision of the GFA to continue with the project of building a formidable squad that started with Otto Addo in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament.
"The GFA has also decided to maintain assistant coaches George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. The three coaches were part of the technical team for the World Cup in Qatar."
