Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has urged Ghanaians to be patient with the national team following their recent poor run of form.

The senior national team have recorded just one win in their last 10 games across all competitions including two defeats at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The team's form under Chris Hughton led to the dismissal of the Irish man with former Black Stars player Otto Addo returning to the role of head coach.

Ayew, who has been around the team in the said period, has apologised for the team's recent performances.

"I think we need to stay calm," said Ayew in an interview with Nana Ama Agyemang on Chasing Gold with Nana Aba. "A lot of things have happened. There's not much to be said at the moment.

“…the results lately have not been the best and we are sorry for that”

"I have been in the team for a very long time so we need to stay calm, learn from what went right and what went wrong, keep working hard to make our nation proud because it is something very special.

"We cannot hide behind the fact that the results lately have not been the best and we are sorry for that but I know it's part of the game. Football is like a cycle you have moments.

"We were on top for about 10 to 12 years but now it's other people but we need to keep working harder. We have the talent and the players, it's just a matter of time and a little bit of luck for things to switch around."

Ayew will be hoping his current form at Le Havre will seal him a return to the national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June.
