This Champions League winner looked unrecognisable after he came out of retirement to join new club
THIS former Champions League winner looked unrecognisable after coming out of retirement to play in his native country of Ghana.
The 38-year-old is better known for his trophy-laden spell at Inter Milan.
He won eight major titles with Inter between 2008 and 2012.
That includes two Serie A titles and a Champions League.
The 84-cap former Ghana international retired from professional football in 2019.
That was after an unsuccessful spell with Albacete.
But after three years out, the new-look Sulley Muntari signed for Ghana Premier League champions Hearts of Oak back in February 2022.
Muntari only penned a six-month deal to see out the remainder of the season with his local team and made 11 appearances, scoring once.
He ditched his usual short hair for a longer look with a beard.
The former Portsmouth ace and FA Cup winner isn’t the only high profile former Ghanaian to return to his native country to play.

Muntari’s younger brother Sulley Muniru is also a professional footballer.
The 29-year-old has been playing for FCSB in Romania.
