Kwesi Appiah sacked as Black Stars coach

Exactly two years today, the first indigene to qualify Ghana for the FIFA World Cup was relieved of his post as Black Stars coach

The decision was reached at a board meeting of the GFA.

Mr Appiah was accused of bad faith after he granted a radio interview in which he said that he had not asked for a technical assistant, contradicting the position of the GFA.

Before Ghana’s game against Togo there were reports that the former Ghana captain had been told he will be fired if he failed to win the game in Lome after drawing 1-1 with Uganda at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.
