Former Ghana Coach Chris Hughton Opens Up on Prostate Cancer Battle and Recovery After Successful Surgery
Former Ghana coach Chris Hughton has revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year but has since made a full recovery following successful treatment.
The 67-year-old coach had surgery to remove his prostate in May 2025, and recovery has since gone well.
Speaking about his healing process,
The coach said, “I had very good advice and all the treatment options were given to me, and I decided to have my prostate removed. The recovery has gone really well.
“I’m one year post-operation and I feel good. It’s all gone very well. I’ve got a lot of energy.
“Keeping active and busy is part of how I am anyway, but it’s also about rehabilitation and keeping your mind active as well.
“I’m very comfortable with my prognosis and my post-operation feelings. I’m in a really good place.”
