Ghana coach Chris Hughton has identified expectations from Ghanaians as his biggest challenge as Black Stars coach.
The Irish-Ghanaian took over from Otto Addo who resigned after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Premier League manager has been in charge of two games since taking over in February, guiding the Black Stars to one win and one draw last month.
Ghana defeated Angola 1-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium before traveling to play a 1-1 draw against the Palancas Negras in Luanda during the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
Hughton, who replaced Otto Addo as the head coach of the Black Stars, in an interview with SuperSport stressed that getting results is considered a success by Ghanaians.
“The biggest challenge in coaching the Black Stars is always expectations. I have been here for long enough and over a long enough period and I can remember the World Cups of old and the Black Stars teams in the past so this brings expectations,” Hughton told Supersport.
“But this kind of situation comes with any management or coaching job. It is about getting results and also the levels of change one can facilitate. If you look at any of the AFCON qualifying groups, there’s never an easy one, which might not have been the case in the past.
“Most importantly, it’s all about expectations and of course making sure that you can get the results. That you need to get .”
The Black Stars will be back to action in June for the remaining two AFCON qualifying games against Central Africa Republic and Madagascar.
