Afcon 2019: Gyan opens up on Ghana captaincy controversy and relationship with Appiah

One month after Ghana's disappointing exit at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt, veteran Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan has spoken about the captaincy controversy.

A month before the championship, the forward shockingly announced his retirement from international duty because he lost the armband. Then he sensationally rescinded his decision a day later following a plea from Ghana president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Coach James Appiah settled on Swansea City attacker Andre Ayew as the new skipper, and Gyan respected the decision during the tournament.
