I Can’t Promise The Team With Any Trophies But I Will Do My Best – Ghana’s New Coach, Chris Hughton

Chris Hughton, Ghana’s new coach, has stated that he cannot promise to assist Ghana win any trophies because no coach can make such a promise.

Hughton spoke to the media on Monday during his introduction in Kumasi and promised to put in a lot of effort to position the Black Stars for success.

The 64-year-old stated his goal is to implement the proper strategies, attitudes, and personnel deployments to help the team fulfill its goals.

“Coaches cannot guarantee a trophy. There is no one because we [coaches] cannot guarantee anything,” Hughton said.

“What we can guarantee is we will work as hard as we can to put a team together; to create the right tactics, the right mentality, the right personnel to put ourselves in the best position to do that. And the first that comes is a qualification, so we will work as hard as we can.”

Hughton also vowed to visit Ghana more frequently and keep an eye on the Ghana Premier League players.

The former Brighton manager responded that things will be different in his time when asked about the apparent hesitation of recent Black Stars coaches to select players from the local league.

Hughton has reportedly signed a two-year deal with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that runs through December 2024.

He will be in charge of the Black Stars in their doubleheader 2023 AFCON qualifier versus Angola as his first task as Ghana coach.
