Black Stars coach Chris Hughton says he is unable to  guarantee the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the fans that the national team would win a trophy during his tenure.
Chris  Hughton at his unveiling in Kumasi on Monday, said winning a trophy is a process and he can not say if the Black Stars are in good shape to win a trophy.
Hughton explained that his main focus is to build a formidable team that can compete and qualify for tournaments adding that he would be giving a false hope if he states confidently that  he can win a trophy with the Black Stars.
“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 told Journalists at a world press conference in Kumasi, Ghana.
“You begin to know the strength of your team and what the players can do during the qualification for major tournaments and from there , you’ll know what to do to make the team solid.”
The former Newcastle United FC manager said he was happy and satisfied with the duration of the contract he signed with the GFA because it will help him build a  strong team in the future.
Hughton’s first official assignment comes up on the 23rd of March, as Ghana hosts Angola in  the Africa cup of nations qualifier at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.  The second leg is slated for March 27 in Luanda, Angola.
