Jordan Ayew’s leadership will grow with time – Kwasi Sibo on Black Stars captain

Kwasi Sibo

Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has lauded the leadership qualities of former Black Stars captain Andre Ayew while expressing confidence that current skipper Jordan Ayew will improve with time.

Jordan Ayew was officially named captain of the senior national team in March, ahead of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying double-header against Chad and Madagascar.

Under his leadership, the Black Stars secured back-to-back wins — a dominant 5-0 triumph over Chad, followed by a convincing 3-0 victory against Madagascar.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports, Sibo acknowledged Jordan’s growing influence in the team but noted that Andre’s leadership presence remains unmatched.

“Jordan Ayew is a good player, and his commitment is unquestionable, but I think Andre Ayew’s leadership skills are above Jordan’s leadership skills,” he said.

“You could always see Andre controlling the players on the pitch when he was with the team, but now that Jordan Ayew has been given the armband, maybe we can see something different from him,” he added.

After captaining Ghana to a third-place finish at the 2024 Unity Cup in London, Jordan Ayew is set to lead the Black Stars again in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Chad in September.
