I’m looking for a bigger role in the Black Stars after the playoffs against Nigeria - Chris Hughton

Newly appointed Technical Director of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton has expressed his delight of the appointment, BSNSports.com.ng reports. He, however, said that he will be expecting to get involved more after the Black Stars playoffs against Nigeria for the 2022 World Cup. Speaking for the first time after the interim appointment, he said it is a pleasure to work for Ghana. "Yes, and I have a lot of energy. I am going to be involved with Ghana. My father hailed from Ghana and Ghana have two World Cup play-off games against Nigeria.” Hughton was emphatic to note that he was not the head coach of the Technical team but only acting as a support system in the interim. “There is a coach but I have the title of technical advisor and my role will be to support the coach and the staff for these two games. But I am very much looking to get back and have a lot to offer," the former Ireland player said.
