I’ll give Ghana my all, but I can’t win every game – Chris Hughton

Ghana coach Chris Hughton has discussed his responsibilities as the leader of the Black Stars technical staff following widespread rumors of his impending dismissal.

In an interview with BBC News Africa, Hughton said he was given the responsibility of both improving the current Black Stars squad and producing positive outcomes.

The Irish-born of Ghanaian descent stated he will always give the Black Stars his all, but they won’t always prevail in games.

“My role as the coach of the Black Stars is to get the best results and the best performances from the team,” he told BBC Africa.
“You can’t always get that, but what you can always do, you can always learn from your previous experiences whether it is good or bad.
“And ultimately, I will work as hard as I always do to try to get things the best way that we can,” he added.

According to reports published in Ghanaian media on Thursday, the Ghana Football Association and the Ghanaian government are debating terminating the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager’s contract.

The nation’s football association, however, dismissed the rumors and unveiled a 25-man roster for this month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup against Madagascar and Comoros.

Following three victories and two draws in his opening five games, Hughton lost both of Ghana’s international friendlies in October—the team first lost 2-0 to Mexico and then was humiliated 4-0 by the United States.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) chose Hughton to replace Otto Addo, who left the position following the Black Stars’ elimination from the 2022 FIFA World Cup group stage.
