Former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur’s manager Chris Hughton has revealed his days with Ghana national team was cut short without authorities offering him enough time.
Chris was offered Ghana coaching job in 2022, after serving as technical advisor to the team during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He was quickly handed the head coach job after Black Stars exit, where he led the team to a shambolic African Cup of Nations campaign in Ivory Coast.
The Ghana Football Association(GFA) following their displeasure with Chris Hughton parted ways with him.
In an interview with 3Sports, indicated that he was not given much time to flourish with the men’s senior team since it was his first ever time managing a national team.
He admitted the national team job requires more time compared to club football.
“It’s about the structure – I was told that when you’re used to club level, it does take some time to adjust to national football, because the stakes today are very different in national football, and of course, working in Africa.
“So I would have wanted more time, and I generally feel that, having been given more time, I would have adjusted better to the role. But this is football; it’s very much about results and emotions,” added Hughton.
Chris Hughton following his exit, saw the football association reappoint Otto Addo for the coaching role.
