As reported by ESPN Africa on Friday, the 67-year-old disclosed the condition in a personal statement, saying he has been receiving treatment and support since the diagnosis.
“I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. I am currently focused on managing his health with the help of medical professionals,” he said.
He did not provide further details on the stage of the illness but expressed gratitude for the care he has received.
Hughton, who most recently managed Ghana’s national team, said he chose to go public to raise awareness about prostate cancer and encourage early testing among men.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally, and health experts consistently stress that early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Hughton has previously managed several clubs in England, including Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United and Norwich City, before taking charge of the Black Stars.
