The team suffered back-to-back penalty shootout losses to both Ivory Coast and South Africa during the tournament.

Assessing the team’s performance, Sammy Kuffour said it was a shame watching them play and described Tanko’s charges as the worst ever assembled.

“The worst team ever assembled in the history of the nation is the under-23 side that went to Egypt.  You couldn’t see anything good in that team and it was a shame watching them,”he said, as quoted by Citisportsonline.

“Sometimes it’s very sad as a Ghanaian watching the way these young players play.  We need to develop from the youth system.”

The former Bayern Munich defender was a member of Black Meteors side that won bronze at the 1992 Olympic Games.
