Published on: 12 July 2024

Ghana captain, Andre Ayew has indicated that there will always be a debate whenever a new captain is selected for the Black Stars.

Delivering a lecture on sports psychology at the University of Ghana, the experienced forward said the next captain of the Black Stars must be prepared for the debate that will arise.

"There will always be a debate sooner or later. The next one who is coming, there will be another debate, the next one who is coming in the next 10 years, there will be another debate.

"Anybody who tomorrow, is going to be the leader of our national team should be ready for it. There are things you just need to learn from, prepare and let it brush off," Andre Ayew said.

Andre Ayew’s no stranger to debate around the Black Stars captaincy.

When the captaincy was taken off Asamoah Gyan and handed to Ayew, it created a lot of debate and controversy.

Recently in his absence, Thomas Partey has been captain of the Black Stars.

Sooner or later, a new captain will be selected to take the place of Andre Ayew.
