Former Ghana midfielder, Sulley Muntari, says the decision by the Black Stars technical team to hand Kudus the captain's armband in Ghana's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers was completely uncalled for as it added additional pressure on Ghana's go-to guy.
Kudus was named captain of the Black Stars in October by head coach Otto Addo ahead of the Black Stars' AFCON qualifying game against Sudan.
The decision by Otto Addo was made after captain of the team, Thomas Partey, had pulled out of the squad due to a medical issue.
Kudus went on to captain Ghana in the final game of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers as the Black Stars succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Niger in Accra.
