Black Stars have enough quality to win games - Chris Hughton

Published on: 12 April 2023

Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton beleives there is enough quality in the senior national team to win games.

The former Premier League manager has signed a 21-month deal and replaced Otto Addo.

Addo left his role following Ghana's early exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Prior to his appointment, he served as the Technical Advisor in a four-member technical team that led the team to the 2022 World Cup.

The 64-year-old has recorded a win and a draw in his first two games in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers against Angola last month.

Hughton says his presence with the team has allowed him to spot great talents which he believes will be a key factor in the team's success.

“Getting results is about believing in the players. I think we have a talented group of players and a talented squad,” he said," he told SuperSports

“It is trying to get that we get the right dynamics in the team and of course ultimately picking the right team to get results.

“You have to rely on good team spirits, good team organisation, togetherness, and desire from the team to win a football match."

The Black Stars will be back in action in June to play in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers. They currently lead Group E with eight points after four matches and will wrap up their qualifiers against Madagascar and the Central African Republic.

Chris Hughton will be hoping to lead the side to end the country's 41 years Afcon trophy next year in Ivory Coast.
