Augustine Ahinful says Chris Hughton is already aware of any possible impediments coming his way as head coach of the Black Stars.
He believes his one-year with the team as technical advisor is enough to know the ins and outs of the team.
Ahinful also urged the Ghana Football Association to give Hughton the free hand to operate as Black Stars head coach.
"If we needed to appoint somebody to lead the national team, it was him," he told Citi Sports.
"He has been with the team for some time and I'm sure as a former footballer who has now become a coach, coached at the highest level in the Premiership, he will be able to handle the team.
"If there are any impediments in his way, he will know by now. It is high time we allow him to do his own thing because his job is based on technical abilities of the game. The administrative staff should also concentrate on administrative issues.
"It is not out of place to give the job to him, for me."
