Former Ghana President John Dramani Mahama has backed Sulley Muntari’s action of walking off the pitch after he was racially-abused by fans in Pescara’s match against Cagliari on Sunday.

The Ghanaian left Pescara with ten men and revealed he was abused by a child who was sitting with his parents.

He took his complaints to referee, Daniele Minelli, who initially ignore before pulling out the yellow card for the African.

A disgusted Muntari reacted by walking off the pitch and leaving Pescara with ten men for the final few minutes of the match.
