Executive Council member Samuel Anim Addo, who is also former Captain Asamoah Gyan’s business manager, says that the Asamoah Gyan camp never liked the Captain General’s idea.
On the eve of the African Cup of Nations in Egypt in 2019, then-Black Stars coach Kwasi Appiah decided to take away the captain’s armband from Asamoah Gyan.
Instead, coach Kwasi Appiah handed the captaincy armband to Gyan’s understudy Andre Ayew, creating a storm even before the tournament began.
Asamoah Gyan received a new designation and was named the team’s general captain, something their manager says they were never happy with, but out of love and respect they had to play for Ghana at AFCON 2019.
“Asamoah Gyan has had successful meetings with the Black Stars Management Committee. Asamoah Gyan camp never liked the idea of the ‘Captain General’.
There was no way he would put on the armband when he was no longer the captain. Due to his love for Ghana, he returned to play for the team at the request of the president and other senior officials even when he announced his retirement, ”Anim Addo reported to Nhyira FM.
On Sunday, the Ghana Football Association confirmed that Andre Ayew has been retained as captain of the Black Stars with Andre Ayew and Richard Ofori as his two alternates.
