Former Black Stars captain, John Mensah is very optimistic Chris Hughton is in to lead the national team to success but could only achieve that with the support of Ghanaians and has urged them to do that.
The Ghana senior men national team has been without a substantive head coach since their exit from the 2022 World Cup after Otto Addo's resignation.
However, English manager Chris Hughton has now been handed the job from his Technical Advisor role with details of his appointment yet to be determined.
He starts off with his assignment later this month when the four time African champions face Angola in a double header in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
In an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi, the former Sunderland center-back has told Ghanaians to rally behind the ex- Newcastle gaffer, since that's the only way to help get the national team back as a power house in the African game once again.
"It is time as Ghanaians to support Black Stars wholeheartedly and put everything aside ahead of the qualifiers."
"Chris is in to do an excellent job and want success for the Black Stars so we should support him so that he won't feel bad. Our support as a nation will boost him to make rightful decisions and make the nation proud once again."
"There's no time again than to throw our full support for Hughton to build a formidable team that can compete."
John Mensah played for the Black Stars for solid eleven years with over 80 appearances and was the main captain of the team at the 2010 World Cup and 2012 AFCON.
