[caption id=attachment_1159199 align=alignnone width=1920] Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu[/caption]Former Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has identified the lack of a transitional plan as a major factor behind the recent struggles of Ghana's national teams.Agyemang-Badu, who was part of a successful Black Satellites team, believes that the absence of a clear transition plan has hindered the progress of young players into the senior national teams.He cited his own experience, where a smooth transition from the U-20 team to the Black Stars contributed to the team's success, including winning the 2009 U-20 World Cup.The big names were gradually going out and we took control of the national team. From there, we had a solid foundation, Agyemang-Badu explained.However, he noted that this transition plan is no longer in place, resulting in poor performances from the Black Stars, Black Starlets, Black Galaxies, and Black Meteors.The recent struggles of Ghana's national teams include the Black Stars' failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament and the Black Galaxies' failure to make the postponed CHAN tournament.
