Renowned sports journalist Saddick Adams has revealed that Jordan Ayew is dissatisfied with the Black Stars management due to how the team’s captaincy change was handled. He reported that head coach Otto Addo failed to personally inform Jordan Ayew before publicly announcing Mohammed Kudus as the new captain, a decision Jordan perceived as disrespectful given his seniority in the squad.

In an interview with Peace FM, Adams also mentioned that even the Black Stars management committee was unaware of the captaincy shift until it was made public, further adding to the dissatisfaction around the issue.“Jordan Ayew’s anger is due to the fact that before Otto Addo announced Kudus as the Black Stars captain, he did not tell him [Jordan] personally. He is the senior-most player in the team.

the Mali match, Otto Addo explained to Jordan earlier why he would start from the bench, which he scored in the game.“So, with the captaincy issue, he expected Otto Addo to inform him about the captaincy before making it public, but he did not. Even the Black Stars management committee members were not told about the decision,” he said in Twi.
