Chris Hughton will deliver as Black Stars coach - ExCO member Randy Abbey

Published on: 27 April 2023

Executive Council Member for the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Dr Randy Abbey, is convinced Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton will deliver.

Hughton signed a 21-month deal last month and replaced Otto Addo,

The 64-year-old has already led the team to a successful start, earning four points out of six in the doubleheader against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers last month.

However, Mr Abbey said the confidence shown in the coach is a good impression of how he can transform the team.

"I think it is a good start, I think he is pressing the right notes," he told Citi TV.

"I mean overall when I read around and listen around, I get the impression that people really like the way he is going about his work," he added.

He added that Hughton has a deeper understanding of Ghanaian football, its people, and the Association and that the team will see major improvements.

Hughton’s next set of games in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers is scheduled for June against Madagascar and Central African Republic.

The Black Stars currently sit at the top of Group E with 8 points following a 1-0 win against Angola in the first leg encounter at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and a one-all draw in Luanda.
