“Our target must be 2021," the 41-year-old is quoted as saying by Goal.
"The current crop cannot win in 2019.
“I think we need to do more, we need to prepare very well and make sure we are ready.
“It is not easy as we think. Every country will be going for the title and they will be preparing very well and so we must also do well to prepare.”
Ghana currently boasts four AFCON titles, but have failed to lift the coveted trophy since 1982, stretching the nation’s trophy drought to 25 years.
