Firery sports presenter Countryman Songo has mentioned Black Stars captain Andre Ayew was victimised by Chris Hughton in relation to Black Stars’ match against Angola in the AFCON qualifier.
Songo whose real name is Patrick Osei Agyemang said when it was time for hiring a coach for the Black Stars, the Ghana Football Association requested Ayew’s opinion as the team’s captain on the potential hiring of Chris Hughton and Kwasi Appiah.
Ayew’s opinion of Chris Hughton, which he confided in the President of the Ghana Football Association, according to Songo, is the reason the coach decided to bench him for the first leg of the doubleheader against Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on March 23.
“You enquired from the player if he believes Kwasi Appiah was the right man for the job and he offered that Kwasi Appiah is a local coach who with the right support will do a good job with the team. He said that Kwasi Appiah knows the terrain and knows how to navigate African football.
“The president also asked him and he vouched for him but said that he will only be successful if he is allowed to bring his own backroom staff. What’s wrong with said? He told the truth about what could help any of the coaches. So what sin did he commit”, he said on the latest edition of his Fire for Fire show on Adom TV
