Chris Hughton has pledged that he will build\u00a0a winning Black Stars team.<\/p>\n
The Irish-born of Ghanaian descent has been unveiled as the head coach of the senior national team.<\/p>\n
Hughton has signed a year-and-a-half deal until December 31 with the team and will be assisted by George Boateng and Didi Boateng.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking at his unveiling in Kumasi on Monday, the former Newcastle United and Brighton boss hinted at his desire to build a winsome team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to see a winning team because there will be lots of questions about our style of football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is this player not playing and why is this player playing? Are you too defensive, are you too offensive? But ultimately what we want to see is winning football.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s start with the correct preparation of the team,\u00a0 using the players to the best of their ability and picking a team that suits the type of players that we have.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think we as coaches start on the same level. To group the players to start as a team and to win football matches,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
