The senior national team has advanced under new head coach Chris Hughton, according to Dreams FC strategist Karim Zito.
Since taking over, the Irish have overseen two matches, including a pair of AFCON 23 qualifying matches against Angola in March. The Palancras Negras were defeated by the Black Stars 1-0 in Kumasi and held to a 1-1 draw in Luanda.
Zito believes the team is heading in the right direction. He told Kessben TV: “In terms of points, four out six, what do you want again?
You see the changes. You see the aggressiveness of these young ones wanting to win at all cost but luck just eluded them in Angola. So far so good, I am okay with him (Hughton). There’s improvement because they are playing according to instructions given to them.”
Chris Hughton is a professional football manager and former player. Born in England, he represented the Republic of Ireland national team. He is the current head coach of the Ghana national team.
In February 2023, he was promoted to the position of head coach of Ghana following the resignation of Otto Addo after the failure of the Black Stars at the World Cup Qatar 2022.
