Ghana's Sports Minister Ussif Mustapha rallies support for Black Stars coach Chris Hughton

Published on: 13 April 2023

The Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif has called on Ghanaians to support Black Stars coach Chris Hughton to deliver.

The Irish-Ghanaian took over from Otto Addo who resigned after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Premier League manager has been in charge of two games since taking over in February, guiding the Black Stars to one win and one draw last month.

Ghana defeated Angola 1-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium before traveling to play a 1-1 draw against the Palancas Negras in Luanda during the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.

In an interview, the Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori urged Ghanaians to throw their weight behind Hughton to succeed as Black Stars coach.

“As a country, support our national team coach Chris Hughton to deliver. He is committed to his job, dedicated and has the experience and can all see he started on a good note”

“So, let’s all rally behind him and give him the maximum support to coach our national team so we can achieve the objectives we have set for ourselves as a country”

The Black Stars will be back to action in June for the remaining two AFCON qualifying games against Central Africa Republic and Madagascar.
