Chris Hughton has revealed the target is for the Black Stars to secure qualification to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and perform well.
The head coach is set to take charge of his first game on Thursday, March 23, when the Black Stars take on the Palancas Negras at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Ghana's quest to win the AFCON trophy again has continued for over 40 years with the closest attempts being the finalists in 2010 and 2015 where they ended up on the losing side.
Speaking at his first press conference as the team's gaffer, Hughton revealed the target he has in mind ahead of facing Angola.
“Our aim is to qualify for the Afcon and do well in the Afcon," the 64-year-old said.
Hughton also calmed fears about Joseph Wollacott's fitness as he added the Charlton Athletic goalkeeper is ready for Thursday.
“Wollacott is fine and he’s ready for tomorrow," he continued.
“It’s important now for goalkeepers to try to be good with their feet but I still think the most important thing for a goalkeeper is to try not to concede goals.”
