Star Madrid head coach, Michael Osei believes it will difficult for Ghana to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations next year.

Coach CK Akonnor has been tasked to break Black Stars' 38-year jinx of winning a title in Cameroon, who will host the next edition of the competition which starts in January and ends in February.

The Black Stars have come close to clinching the title in 2010 and 2015 in Angola and Equatorial Guinea respectively.

Speaking to Happy FM in an interview, the former Asante Kotoko and Liberty Professionals coach says some countries are ahead of Ghana and their players are playing consistently for their clubs, therefore, it will be difficult to win the title.

"It will be very difficult to win the AFCON title next year", he told Happy FM.

"There are some countries who are ahead of us and their players are playing consistently for their clubs.

"For him (CK Akonnor) to win we all have to support him, the playing body, and the technical team to make this possible," he added.

Black Stars currently top Group C in the suspended 2021 AFCON qualifiers with six points after beating South Africa and Sao Tome in the opening matches.
