Former Black Stars midfielder Alfred Duncan has opened up about the abrupt end to his international career, calling it the best decision he has ever made.
In May 2022, Duncan announced his retirement from the national team after being consistently snubbed by the Black Stars.
However, according to Duncan, his exclusion ultimately brought something positive into his life.
Speaking in an interview with Sporty FM, Duncan shared that retiring from the national team has given him the valuable opportunity to spend more time with his family, something he rarely had the chance to do during his days with the Black Stars.
“During the international break, I’m able to spend more time with my family. For me, that was one of the best decisions I ever made because I was spending less time with them. Making that decision helped me a lot to be able to spend more time with them,” he said.
He further revealed that some new Black Stars managers have tried to persuade him to reconsider his decision and return to the team. However, he is not willing to sacrifice the quality time he now enjoys with his family.
“In the past few years, the two new coaches who came in both reached out to me and wanted to work with me. But it was difficult to change my mind, so I decided to stick with my initial decision not to return to the national team so I could spend more time with my family,” he added.
