Hughton, a defender for Tottenham Hotspur and the Republic of Ireland in his playing days, will retain former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng as assistant coach. “Details about the duration of the contract and terms of engagement would be announced in due course, the Ghana FA added.
