Interim Black Stars coach Kim Lars Björkegren says his priority is to help Ghana qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations after his side beat Somalia 2–0 on Thursday.
The Swedish coach took charge following the departure of Carlos Queiroz and won his first match in charge, lifting Ghana from bottom of Group C to third.
Asked at his post-match press conference whether he was the right person for the job, Björkegren said his focus was on getting results during his time in charge.
“It’s not a question for me; I’m going to do my best when I’m here. I said it the whole time, my job is to be here to support Ghana, to be there for the boys, and do my absolute best to win every game and to help the boys back in this group, because I think we can go all the way and qualify for the AFCON. So, I’m doing my job now, and then we will see what happens after this,” he said.
Ghana face Somalia again on Monday, November 16. Another win would strengthen the Black Stars’ qualification chances, particularly if Côte d’Ivoire beat The Gambia.
