Former Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has expressed concerns over the decision to appoint Mohammed Kudus as the captain of the Black Stars.
Muntari’s comments come after Kudus was named captain of the Black Stars in October 2023, replacing Thomas Partey who was ruled out due to injury.
According to Muntari, the appointment has added unnecessary pressure on Kudus, who is already a key player for the team.
In an interview with 3Sports, the former Ghana international, Sulley Muntari, described the decision as one which was hastily taken.
“Kudus, no matter what, is going to be the captain of the national team one day,” he said.
“Let it be smooth for him, don’t just rush him. He doesn’t need the armband but he commands on the field. He carries the whole nation on his shoulder and he plays with us.
”So, what is your problem? You want to disturb him? I’m not saying you’ll worry him but let him be. Let him enjoy his football. Kudus has not yet seen his full potential. What we see is just a glimpse. Kudus is just amazing. As he continues to grow, he’ll be deadly,” he added.
The Black Stars will be back in March this year for the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Chad and Madagascar.
