Coach James Kwasi Appiah, has opened up on reason behind the application for the Black Stars coaching job.
Since Otto Addo left his position as head coach after Ghana’s 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is still looking for a replacement.
GFA has said an appointment will be made by the end of January.
Appiah applied for the open position, which could lead to his third trip back to the dugout at the senior national level.
He confirmed his application for the vacant role to Kumasi-based Sompa FM:
“When it emerged that no Ghanaian coach has applied for the job, I felt being a Ghanaian, I feel I can also do something and that is the reason why I have applied,” he told Kumasi-based Sompa FM.
The experienced trainer has been in charge of the four time African champions on two occasions and was recently relieved off his duties in December 2019 after his contract expiration by the Ghana FA.
Chris Hughton, Manchester United assistant coach Steve McClaren and Hector Cupper are said to be the three shortlisted for the hotseat.
The Black Stars will return to action in March for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
