Black Stars head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren says his priority is to do his best for Ghana and guide the team to qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, insisting that decisions about his long-term future are not his concern.
The Swedish coach made the remarks when asked whether he believed he was the right person for the Black Stars coaching job following Ghana’s 2-0 victory over Somalia in Thursday’s AFCON qualifier at the Sekondi Sports Stadium.
Bjorkegren said he remained focused on supporting the players, winning matches and helping restore confidence within the team as they pursue qualification for the continental tournament.
“It's not a question for me; I'm going to do my best when I'm here,” he said.
“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,” he added.
He maintained that his responsibility was to give his best while in charge of the team, leaving questions about what happens beyond his current assignment for another time.
“So, I'm doing my job now, and then we will see what happens after this,” he stated.
Bjorkegren's comments came after he guided Ghana to their first victory in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, with goals from Jonas Adjetey and Felix Afena-Gyan securing the 2-0 win over Somalia.
