Ex-Ghana Coach Proposes Building Black Stars Around Mohammed Kudus

Ghanaian football manager Charles Kwablah Akonnor has reiterated the importance of structuring the team around Mohammed Kudus.

This follows former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan’s emphasis on the significance of paying attention to the emerging Kudus, who is swiftly gaining popularity among football fans worldwide.

During an interview on Asempa FM, Gyan stated “So far it is obvious when I say it’s obvious I mean you know, Mohammed Kudus.”

“When I was coming up, we had Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari, and at a point it got to me. Players have come and gone. We had the Abedi Pele era, Stephen Appiah era, Michael Essien era, and the Asamoah Gyan era and now it looks like it’s Kudus’ era.”

“I mean he is the only Ghanaian player performing in Europe. And not just in any league, but in the Premier League,” he added.

Akonnor, in line with Gyan’s stance, emphasized during an interview with Akoma FM that Kudus should be the centerpiece of the team due to his outstanding performances for both club and country.

“The earlier, of course, the better. Yes, our captain and his brother have performed admirably for the team, but given the current trend, it makes more sense to center Black Stars around Mohammed Kudus. He (Kudus) has shown everyone wrong about his ability to be the next big thing, it makes sense for us to get started as soon as possible.”
