Addressing the media at his unveiling in Kumasi on Monday, Hughton said what he can guarantee is to work hard to put the Black Stars in the best position to excel.
The 64-year-old said he aims to institute the right tactics, mentality and deploy the right personnel to achieve the team’s goals.
“Coaches cannot guarantee a trophy. There is no one, because we [coaches] cannot guarantee anything,” Hughton said.
“What we can guarantee is we will work as hard as we can to put a team together; to create the right tactics, the right mentality, the right personnel to put ourselves in the best position to do that. And the first that comes is qualification, so we will work as hard as we can.”
Hughton also promised to spend more time in Ghana and to pay attention to players in the Ghana Premier League.
Asked about the seeming reluctance of recent Black Stars coaches to pick players from the local league, the former Brighton manager said things will be different in his time.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed that Hughton has signed a two-year contract until December 2024.
His first assignment as Ghana coach will see him take charge of the Black Stars in their double-header 2023 AFCON qualifier against Angola.
