The Fenerbaçe ace is set to take over from Asamoah Gyan, who has led the team since 2013 when he succeeded John Mensah. Black Stars insiders say Kwasi Appiah will make the decision public during the squad announcement later this week. Both Gyan and Andre have consistently brushed aside claims of a power struggle in the team, but this latest development is likely to cause massive divisions in camp. It’s widely feared the tension between the two players could derail the team’s chances of ending a 36-year wait for an African title.
