Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has called on Ghanaians to be patient with the team as they chase a return to glory days.
The senior national team has struggled in the last few years with back-to-back group stage exit from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) before missing out on a ticket to Morocco for the 2025 edition.
In 2024, which saw the return of Otto Addo as head coach, Ghana won just two of 10 games, losing four and drawing four.
In an exclusive interview with Joy Sports, Ayew, admitted it would take time to get the country to where Ghanaians want it to be.
“International football has periods, and we are in a period of transition. The head coach [Otto Addo] has also come in with different ideas, so it will take time,” he said.
“Look at Man City and their struggles this season, for example. It is the end of an era and it’ll take time for them to build again.
“I think we need patience because I’m convinced we have the players to turn things around.”
Ayew was speaking for the first time since being appointed as the captain of the Black Stars.
He will lead the team for the 2026 Word Cup Qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and 24 respectively.
