Avram Grant assesses his reign: "It's been good"
Ghana coach Avram Grant has given himself a pass
mark for his time in charge of the Black Stars
following his appointment to the role almost a
year ago. Grant led the Black Stars to the final
of this year's Nations Cup where they lost to Cote
d'Ivoire in a penalty shootout. The Black Stars
are also topping their 2017 Nations Cup qualifying
group and have qualified for the group stage of
the World Cup qualifiers after defeating minnows
Comoros in the second round.

Looking back in an interview, the Israeli
tactician contended that he had done well, but
acknowledged that there was still a lot of work to
be done. "We have big ambitions for this team. We
did well for in the African Cup. We did well and
we want to continue. It\'s a process. Next month I
will finish one year in my job and I think for the
first year it was a good job," Grant noted to
Pulse.

"It's good [first year in charge of Black Stars]
but there's a long way ahead of us. Our target now
is to qualify to the World Cup and to qualify to
the African Cup. We know that we can make good
things."

The former Chelsea of England and Israel boss also
took time to praise Comoros for their performance
against his team. Both sides drew 0-0 in
Mitsamiouli before Ghana won the second leg 2-0 in
Kumasi. "All credit to Comoros. They played very
well, they fought very well, they defended very
cleverly, they moved the ball forward. They didn't
get any chances but it was not easy to play
against them."
