Chris Hughton reveals his personal Black Stars goal

Chris Hughton, the new head coach of Ghana’s senior national team, has emphasized the importance of winning over playing attractive football.

Speaking at his unveiling ceremony in Kumasi on March 20, the former Brighton boss highlighted the significance of bringing silverware to a country that has not won a major tournament in 41 years.

Hughton stressed that the team’s style of play should not be a priority as long as they achieve success.

“We want to see a winning team, because there can be and there would be  lot of questions on our style of football – are you too defensive, are you too offensive? – players that play. Ultimately, what we all want to see is winning football and that starts with the correct preparation of the team.

“Using the players to the best of their ability and picking a team that suits the type of players we have,” Hughton explained.

The Black Stars’ first training session under Hughton’s leadership, assisted by George Boateng, is expected to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.
