The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, says the importance of the Black Stars' wins over Mali and Central African Republic (CAR) cannot be measured.
According to him, the team's head coach, Otto Addo, is valued by the GFA following his return.
Ghana got their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign back on track after beating the Eagles and the Wild Beasts on matchday three and four respectively.
The wins take Ghana to second in the standings in Group I only behind Comoros who lead due to goal difference.
The two games were Addo's first competitive games since his reappointment as the coach of the senior national team.
Asante Twum, speaking exclusively to Joy Sports, said the GFA has confidence in the abilities of the former Ghana international.
"I think the joy of winning these two matches is unquantifiable. We believe so much in Otto Addo. He had the opportunity to work with us, first of all, as an assistant coach and later as a stop-gap coach. We loved the ethics, his disciplinary level, and what he brought on board in terms of his respect and knowledge of football," he said.
"When the opportunity came for us to find a replacement for Chris Hughton the panel listened to him, we looked at his philosophy, we looked at what he was able to do during his first stint and the decision was that we needed to bring him back."
He also revealed there were difficulties in their attempt to reach an agreement with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund before things were eventually sorted.
"Even though at the beginning it looked quite difficult because he still had a contract with Dortmund, we spoke with Dortmund and they agreed to release him and we have our man," he added.
The Black Stars will resume their World Cup qualifiers next year with games against Chad and Madagascar next in line.
