Former Captain of the Black Stars, Stephen Appiah, has urged Ghanaians to allow Coach Chris Hughton enough time to assemble a strong team.
Stephen Appiah believes that in order to get the finest performance out of the 64-year-old gaffer, patience will be the best attitude to adopt. His comments are incidental to many calls for immediate improvement of the Black Stars team and Ghana football by stakeholders, including members of the Ghana Football Association Executive Council who have voiced unhappiness in the team’s performances.
“We are in a country where we don’t have patience.We have to know that any coach you bring comes with a different style of play so the players never get used to a particular play,” he told Joy Sports.
“That is why maybe we are not getting what we want to see with Chris”

“Today’s football is not all about what we see on the pitch. The force is about the people on the bench – the technical staff. That is why more teams in Europe have more technical staff than the playing body.” he told joysports
Stephen Appiah also emphasized the value of a strong technical team in contemporary football, emphasizing that the game today incorporates the knowledge and tactics of the coaching staff in addition to what occurs on the field.
