He has the African background; second, he is a coach with experience and also has had the opportunity to know these boys,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dIf Chris Hughton is given the job, then he should come and stay in Ghana and form his local Black Stars to ensure that the nucleus of the team should come from them.
