Michael Essien’s return to the Black Stars is a top priority for Ghana’s new coach Goran Stevanvic, the Serbian has exclusively told KickOffGhana.com.
The new boss held audience with the Ghana media on Wednesday declaring he has the quality to deliver Nations Cup glory and success in future.
He reckons Ghana has come a long way already and is confident he can live up to the challenge of coaching the Black Stars.
One of the first things he plans on doing is to get Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien back in the national setting again after his long absence.
Essien took time off national team duties after a long injury induced absence and even though the GFA have announced he will be back soon, the player has not been so forth coming.
Stevanvic told KickOffGhana.com in an exclusive one-on-one chat that he will do everything possible to have him back in the side.
"I will try, I will make everything possible to have Essien back in the team," he said.
