Otchere-Darko has been accused by some sections of the media in Ghana of using his influence to impose Hughton on the Ghana Football Association. 

However, in a video posted on the Kegyiwa Nankasa YouTube channel, Otchere-Darko dismissed the allegations, stating that the GFA made the decision to appoint Hughton, and that he merely knew the former Brighton and Hove Albion coach as a friend. 

Otchere-Darko also praised the GFA's decision to appoint Hughton, stating that he believed it was the right call. 

"Chris is my friend but it is the GFA's choice and I think that they have made the right choice...," Mr Otchere-Darko said

Hughton has signed a 21-month contract as Black Stars coach, with the aim of qualifying for and impressing at the 2023 African Cup of Nations.
