Kwesi Appiah says the Black Stars were not competitive enough to compete at the just-ended 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars exited the tournament at the group phase with just three points after three games.
Ghana needed a draw against Uruguay in their final group game but suffered a 2-0 defeat against the South American side.
Reacting to the campaign, Kwesi Appiah, who is a former head coach of the side said he was particularly disappointed in the performance of the team in the match against Uruguay.
“Going into the last game against Uruguay, I was very confident that we will sail through. But what we played that day was far from a team that is competitive.
“I am still in contact with most of the players as they are my friends. I was so hurt by our output,” Kwesi Appiah told Standard Gazzette.
Kwesi Appiah made 7 appearances and scored twice for the Black Stars since making his national team debut in 2015.
