Assistant coach of the Black Stars, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has urged Ghanaians to manage their expectation following the appointment of Chris Hughton as the head coach of the Black Stars.
The former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur boss has been named as Otto Addo's replacement.
Addo, who is Borussia Dortmund's talent coach left his role after the senior national team's exit from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 64-year-old served as the technical advisor for the Black Stars prior to his appointment. He worked with Addo, George Boateng and Didi Dramani.
Following the appointment of Hughton, Ghanaians have called on him to end the country's trophy drought but Didi Dramani says Ghanaians need to manage their hopes for the new coach.
“Chris Hughton brings about team value, cohesion and strong relations. [His] experience at the EPL level is huge and that is why I said he has still it all but is still open-minded,” he told Joy Sports.
“We have to be very modest in terms of our expectations; support and align especially our huge industry which is the media point that we need to have a clear view of how we are rolling things so you can see the progress.
Didi Dramani and Boateng will continue their roles as assistant coaches under Hughton with their first official assignment being the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
