Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton, has insisted that he is the right man for the Black Stars coaching job after the USA lesson on Wednesday.

Ghana was humiliated in a 4-0 demolition at the Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee in an international friendly.

That meant Chris Hughton has lost back-to-back games following the 2-0 defeat to Mexico earlier on Sunday.

Speaking at a press conference after the USA loss, Hughton said, “If you ask me if I feel like I’m the right person for this job, the answer is yes,” Joy Sports’ Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo, who attended both match and post-match press conference, reported.

The US took the lead in the 10th minute through Giovanni Reyna who picked on a poor clearance, before Christian Pulisic added the second from the spot following a Gideon Mensah penalty.

Florian Balogun was then gifted the third goal for the USA following another series of poor defending in the 22nd minute.

Ghana went down the fourth time in the 39th minute through a well-worked indirect free kick that was converted by Reyna for his brace.
