Ghana Football Association former president Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe believes coach Kwesi Appiah’s decision to change his captain ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations affected the Black Stars performance at the tournament in Egypt.
Appiah striped Asamoah Gyan of the team’s captaincy and named Andre Ayew as new captain few weeks before the competition, prompting the retirement of Gyan from the team. He later backtracked on the decision and was appointed general captain.
“You do not change the captain of the team just weeks to a game and expect to get remarkable results at the end of the tournament,” Tamakloe told The Ghana Report.
