After receiving a 21-month contract in March of this year due to Otto Addo’s resignation following Ghana’s early elimination from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Black Stars coach Chris Hughton says he aims to assemble a balanced team.
However, the former Newcastle United manager disclosed in an interview with talkSPORTS that eleven players changed their nationality to play for the West African nation when Otto Addo was the then head coach.
Even if certain players are still eligible to represent the Black Stars, he said, he is now trying to strike the correct balance.
“The deeper I get into this role, the more players I get to know with Ghanaian heritage and it is throughout Europe,” he said.
“Most of my time was as a technical advisor and I worked with Otto Addo and we were able to bring in eleven new players to the squad. It is also about getting that balance because there are so many players that can become eligible.
“You can’t be adding new players in every squad so I think we have to be careful because we will need some stability,” he added.
