Black Stars need to be instilled the right attitude to succeed - Maxwell Konadu

Published on: 24 April 2025

Former Black Stars assistant coach, Maxwell Konadu, has backed the current playing body but stressed that they need to instil the right attitude to achieve greater heights. 

The senior national team, after a poor campaign in 2024 where they recorded just two wins in 10 games, kicked off 2025 on a good note with a back-to-back win against Chad and Madagascar in the Matchday 5 and 6 games of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Ghana recorded a 5-0 emphatic win against the Chadians before a 3-0 win against Madagascar in Morocco.

However, the 52-year-old coach speaking to Graphic Sports said the current pool of Black Stars players, though not all plying their trade at elite European clubs, are competing in top leagues—an indication of their readiness to face global football powerhouses.

“We have top players," the former Asante Kotoko and Black Leopards coach said.

"Even though not all of them are in top clubs, many are playing in the best leagues in Europe.

"That alone should tell you that we have quality. It’s just a matter of getting them together and instilling the right attitude,” he added.

Ghana is now on course to feature at the Mundial, which will be hosted in the USA, Mexico and Canada next year. The Black Stars will take on Chad and Mali in the next round of games in September.
