Chris Hughton, the Black Stars’ newly appointed head coach, has made it clear that he cannot promise to lead the team to success in terms of winning championships.
As the team’s head coach, the 64-year-old has agreed to a one-and-a-half-year contract.
The senior national team has struggled to capture any noteworthy medals; the most recent one was won in 1982.
The four-time African champions’ trophy drought has lasted 40 years, but the former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United coach has refused to guarantee that he can break it.
“No coach can guarantee a trophy. No coach can sit at a table like this and guarantee you that. No single coach can do that,” he said during his unveiling.
“It starts with qualifications and you can know what you can do but no coach can guarantee a trophy,” he added.
Hughton was officially unveiled today in Kumasi.
His first game will be against Angola in a back-to-back game in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers this month.
Ghana will host the Palancas Negras at the Baba Yara Stadium on March 23 before travelling to Luanda for the reserve game in four days’ time.
The former Brighton boss will be assisted by Didi Dramani and George Boateng.
