Let's keep supporting Chris Hughton - Randy Abbey implore Ghanaians

Published on: 25 March 2023

An Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Randy Abbey, has called on Ghanaians to keep supporting the new head coach of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton.

The Irish-born of Ghanaian descent was confirmed as the new head trainer of the senior national team on a 21-month deal.

The 64-year-old recorded his first win against Angola in the first leg of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers on Thursday at the Baba Yara Stadium with late Antoine Semenyo's late strike.

With the reverse scheduled on Monday, March 27 in Luanda, Mr Abbey believes it was a good start for the former Tottenham manager after the hard-fought win.

According to him, Hughton will need the support of the country to keep up the good work.

"I think it's a good start for Chris Hughton and we need to keep supporting the team," he told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.

The game has been scheduled to kick off at 15:00GMT at the Estádio 11 de Novembro.

Ghana sit top of Group E with seven points following the win against the Palancas Negras of Angola.

The Black Stars are aiming to end the country's 41 years Afcon trophy drought in Ivory Coast next year.
