Former Ghana international, Yussif Chibsah has charged Chris Hughton to build a Black Stars team that can compete for many years.

The former premier League manager replaced Otto Addo, who resigned after the World Cup in February and have had a good start to his job.

Hughton has accumulated 4 points in 2 games, winning one and drawing one against Angola in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers in March.

Speaking to Citi FM, Yusif Chibsah entreated the former Brighton boss to build a formidable Black Stars team that can be relied on for some years.

“We expect a win from the two games, that is the expectation of most Ghanaians, but some of us we look beyond the win,"

“We just want to see a formidable team, a team that we can rely on for years, not just winning. It is actually important to win games, that is what Ghanaians expect from the coach.

“We want to see Chris Hughton building us a formidable team, which we can rely on for years, two, three years.

“Majority of the current squad are young players, about 70-80 percent are young, talking about the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Osman Bukari, and co.

“Let’s build the team around these players and let’s lay a foundation that can see them play together for the next three or four years," he added.

Ghana will soon resume preparations for their next two games against Madagascar and Central African Republic as they aim to make their 24th AFCON appearance.
