In a bid to solidify team unity ahead of Ghana’s crucial November fixtures, Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has reportedly held positive discussions with forward Jordan Ayew, putting to rest any lingering misunderstandings. The talks between Addo and Ayew are said to have been productive, with the pair reaching a mutual understanding that paves the way for Ayew to lead the national side in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

During Ghana’s last two qualifying matches against Sudan, Ayew was unexpectedly overlooked for the captain’s armband in the absence of regular captain Thomas Partey. Instead, the responsibility fell to Mohammed Kudus, a decision that surprised fans and analysts alike, raising questions about Ayew’s role and future leadership within the team.

With the Black Stars gearing up to face Angola and Niger in two crucial matches in November, insiders reveal that Addo is likely to restore the captaincy to Ayew, a veteran of the national team with years of experience on the international stage. The decision, if finalized, would signal renewed confidence in Ayew’s leadership as Ghana looks to secure its qualification for the upcoming AFCON tournament.

This leadership move comes as Ghana aims to leverage Ayew’s experience and familiarity with African football dynamics in two must-win encounters. Football fans nationwide are now hopeful that this unity and clear leadership will translate into success on the field, as the Black Stars seek to build momentum toward the 2024 AFCON tournament.
