Jordan Ayew and Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu
Former Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has entreated Ghanaians to accept whoever Otto Addo selects as the captain of the Black Stars.
He opined that people don’t have to criticize the coach or the technical team over the decision, as the team needs to have a leader.
The former Great Olympics midfielder said that he has no problem with Jordan Ayew being appointed Black Stars captain, considering his commitment and performances.
“No time for blame games anymore, let’s reset the Black Stars. Jordan Ayew is the captain of the Black Stars, let’s respect that and move on,” he told Takoradi-based Connect FM.
This comes after reports emerged that head coach Otto Addo is set to announce Jordan Ayew as the captain of the Black Stars, following the absence of his brother André Dede Ayew.
There has been controversy surrounding the role after it was given to Mohammed Kudus and later taken from him during the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium before facing Madagascar in an away fixture on March 24, 2025.
Ghana are second in Group I with nine points, tied with leaders Comoros, while Madagascar are third with seven points, followed by Mali with five points.
