Herve Renard names six Ghanaian players in his Africa best XI

Two times AFCON winner and former Assistant coach of the Black Stars, Herve Renard has named six Ghanaian players in his all-time best eleven players on the African continent.

The Frenchman was a second assistant coach under fellow countryman Claude Le Roy during the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations hosted here in Ghana.

After spending more than a decade on the continent with Ghana, Zambia, Ivory Coast, and Morocco, the current Saudi Arabia coach was asked to name his best eleven African players in an interview with TV3’s Juliet Bawuah.

He chose former Blackpool goalkeeper Richard Kingson, John Mensah, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, Andre Ayew, and Africa’s top scorer at the World Cup, Asamoah Gyan as the Ghanaians in his best eleven squads.

Crystal Palace ace Jordan Ayew also made it to the bench of Herve Renard’s dream Africa team.

Check the squad below:

GK: Richard Kingson (Ghana) Medhi Banatia (Morocco) John Mensah (Ghana) Kolo Habib Toure (Ivory Coast) Achraf Hakimi (Morocco) Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast) Michael Essien (Ghana) Siaka Tiene (Ivory Coast) Sulley Muntari (Ghana) Andre Ayew (Ghana) Asamoah Gyan (Ghana)
