‘Sack Andre Ayew from Black Stars’ – Ex-Ghana captain Osei Kuffuor

According to an interview with Onua Sport, former Ghanaian footballer Emmanuel Osei Kuffour has recommended that the technical handlers of the Black Stars remove captain Andre Ayew from the national team and introduce emerging talents such as Kudus Mohammed.

Kuffour, who won the CAF Champions League with Hearts of Oak, expressed that Ayew has been with the national team for an extended period of time, and it is time to give way to younger players who can demonstrate their abilities on the international stage.

While acknowledging Ayew’s experience and contributions, Kuffour stressed the importance of opening doors for emerging players. He also emphasised that Ayew’s younger brother, Jordan Ayew, still has a significant role to play in the national team and has more to offer compared to Andre.

“Andre Ayew is done with the Black Stars and should be shown the exit in order to open doors for emerging talents like Kudus Mohammed,” Kuffour asserted. “Dede Ayew has been with the Black Stars since 2008, and it’s time to leave. Kudus Mohammed, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and others also need the space to show us what they have.”

Kuffour concluded by stating that “Andre Ayew has served and must give way…His younger brother Jordan is there and still has something to deliver, unlike Dede, who has fulfilled his responsibilities with the senior national team. He needs to leave and make way for others too.”
