Former Ghana Football Association [GFA] president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has said the Black Stars suffered an embarrassment after Sulley Muntari’s physical assault of Moses Armah Parker during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Muntari attacked the Medeama SC boss before the last game against Portugal.
Speaking in an interview, Mr. Nyantakyi said the former Black Stars midfielder’s decision to attack Mr. Parker, who was a member of the management committee embarrassed the team on the biggest stage.
“Muntari and Kevin were not kicked out of camp for technical reasons; they were kicked out of camp on disciplinary grounds,” Nyantakyi said in a Joy Sports’ Prime Take interview.
“A fight broke out and I remember begging Sulley to stop, but he wouldn’t listen to me,” he recalled.
“The fight was uncalled for and the fight was unwarranted; it was needless.
“The embarrassment that it brought to the whole team was just unbearable so that was the best decision to take at that time,” he stated.
Ghana suffered elimination from the Mundial in Rio at the group phase.
However, Muntari recently apologized to Parker for the embarrassment he caused him and his family eight years ago.
