Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton claims the huge expectations from Ghanaians could prove to be a challenge for him and must get the team to win.

The 64-year-old was appointed the new gaffer as Ghana looks to return to being a 'top name' in African football once again after recent below-par performances.

Hughton had previously served as the team's technical advisor working together with Otto Addo, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani.

Following his appointment, the former Norwich City man had his first share of games as the head coach in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola, as the Black Stars won one and drew the other during the March international break.

With numerous Ghanaians tipping him to be the man to return the team to its glory days, Hughton says that may be a challenge for him.

“The biggest challenge is always expectations. I have been here for long enough and over a long enough period and I can remember the World Cups of old and the Black Stars teams in the past so this brings expectations,” he told Supersport.

“But that comes with any management or coaching job. It is about getting results and also the levels of change now…So many teams have improved. If you look at an AFCON qualifying group, there’s never an easy one, which might not have been the case in the past.

“Expectations and of course making sure that you can get the results that you need to get.”

Hughton and Ghana are back in action again in June when the AFCON qualifiers return with the Black Stars close securing a place for the tournament to be staged in Ivory Coast.
