German-born Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince Boateng has disclosed that he feels sorry about how his career at the Black Stars ended abruptly in 2014.
Boateng became the fans' favourite after completing his nationality switch to play for Ghana ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
He played an instrumental role in Ghana's campaign at the 2010 World Cup which they reached the quarter-finals stage, losing painful to Uruguay on penalty shootouts.
However, he was thrown out of camp with Michael Essien and Sulley Ali Muntari after clashing with Kwesi Appiah during the 2014 global showpiece in Brazil where the team exited at the group stage with just one point.
The 35-year-old hasn’t played for Ghana since having been banned from the national team by a Commission of Inquiry in the aftermath of the tournament in Brazil.
Speaking in an interview, the former Borussia Dortmund forward said never intended to bow out of the Black Stars because it was a good squad that had the potential to achieve something significant for Ghana.
He added that he was sorry for how he left the national team because he had great plans for the team but circumstances beyond his control prevented his return to the Black Stars.
“There were some reasons that didn’t work out how we wanted,” Boateng told Oma Sports TV in an interview
"There were some misunderstandings, I feel sorry it ended like this because after 2010 we could have built something very good because we had a great team,”
Boateng, who was born to a Ghanaian father, said he will always support the Black Stars and wish them the best in all they do.
“I wish the Black Stars nothing but the best and I will always be a fan,” he added.
Boateng made 15 appearances and scored two goals for the West African nation from 2010 to 2014.
