I’ll be spending more time in Ghana to watch GPL games – Chris Hughton
Chris Hughton, the coach of the Black Stars, has committed to spend more time in Ghana and to pay special attention to players in the Ghana Premier League.
On Monday morning, the former Tottenham Hotspur star was introduced as Ghana’s new head coach at the SG Mall in Kumasi.
When asked about recent Black Stars coaches’ apparent unwillingness to select players from the local league, Hughton stated that things will be different in his time.
“I will be spending more time in Ghana. I will be watching more games. I am constantly being made aware of players who are doing well.
“I’ll be paying more attention to [GPL] games because it is important that we have a strong national league.”
Hughton’s first duty as Ghana coach will be to lead the Black Stars in their 2023 AFCON qualifier against Angola.
