Ghana captain Andre Ayew has acknowledged that debates are inevitable whenever a new captain is selected for the Black Stars.
Delivering a lecture on sports psychology at the University of Ghana, the experienced forward shared insights on the challenges and expectations facing future captains of the national team.
"There will always be a debate sooner or later," Ayew stated. "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."
Ayew is no stranger to the controversy surrounding the Black Stars captaincy. When the captaincy was taken from Asamoah Gyan and handed to Ayew, it sparked significant debate and controversy.
Recently, in Ayew's absence, Thomas Partey has stepped in as captain of the Black Stars.
As Ayew hinted, a new captain will eventually be chosen to lead the team, continuing the tradition of debate and scrutiny that accompanies this prestigious role.
Meanwhile, Ghana are hoping to secure qualification to the next Africa Cup of Nations as well as the 2026 World Cup.
