Interim Black Stars coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren says his focus is on helping Ghana qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), following their 2-0 victory over Somalia on Thursday.

The Swedish tactician was appointed to lead the Black Stars following the departure of Carlos Queiroz.

In his first match in charge, Kim Lars Bjorkegren guided the Black Stars to a crucial victory to get their qualification campaign back on track.

Asked whether he believes he is the right person for the Ghana coaching job in his post-match press conference, the interim coach said his priority is to give his best while in charge rather than focus on what happens afterwards.

“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,” Kim Lars Bjorkegren told the press.

The win against Somalia has seen Ghana climb from the bottom of Group C to third.

A second win against Somalia in the reverse fixture on Monday, November 16, will put Ghana in contention for qualification, especially if Ivory Coast overcome the Gambia in their game.
