The head coach of Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars of Ghana, Avram Grant, has said he is aiming to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Gabon next year, and also make history at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He is full of optimism that he will deliver on the target he has set for himself.
The former Chelsea manager has already qualified for the 2017 AFCON and will start the World Cup qualifiers next month against Uganda at home.
He came close to winning his first major silverware when the Black Stars missed out on the 2015 AFCON trophy after a penalty shoot-out defeat to Ivory Coast in the final.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Thursday September 1, Mr Grant said: “My target is to lead [an] African country to make history at the World Cup and be an African champion at the same time.”
He added: “The talent is in abundance and that is why I want to build a team – a strong squad and, in fact, a winning team.”
“Since my first defeat against Senegal in the opening match of the 2015 AFCON, we won all the games until the final.”
