Former Ghana Football Association [GFA] President, Kwesi Nyantakyi has revealed that he had to kneel and beg for Sulley Muntari’s inclusion in Black Stars squad for the 2010 World Cup.
Rajevac was not on good terms with Muntari during his first spell due to alleged indiscipline.
The Serbian coach left out the midfielder from Ghana’s squad for the 2010 AFCON, with the team going on to reach the final.
The Serbian gaffer eventually added Muntari to his squad for the World Cup, but the former Inter Milan star lost his place in the first team to Andre Ayew.
In an interview with Joy Sports, Nyantakyi said he twice begged for Muntari to be taken to the World Cup.
According to him, he twice pleaded with then-coach Milovan Rajevac not to exclude the midfielder from his squad for the tournament in South Africa.
“Yes, in 2010 I did it. I did it twice, not even once,” the former GFA President said in the interview.
“I had to kneel for Sulley Muntari to be named in Black Stars for the World Cup,” he added.
Muntari has been out of the Black Stars after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The former AC Milan and Inter Milan midfielder has made 84 appearances and has scored 20 goals.
