Kwasi Appiah Offers CK Akonnor Black Stars Advice

The 59-year-old has refused to close the door on the Black Stars for good.

Former Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah is not ruling out another stint with the Black Stars.

The 59-year-old brought a two-year stint to an end on December 31, 2019 as the Ghana Football Association (GFA) decided against renewing his contract.

It was his second spell in charge of the Black Stars following a first tenure between 2012 and 2014.

''I am a professional coach. I haven’t said I have resigned [from coaching]. If I come out to say that I am not coaching anymore that’s a different issue,'' Appiah told Graphic Sports in response to a question about whether he is open to a third Ghana stint.

Following the expiration of his contract, Appiah has since been replaced by former Ghana and Wolfsburg captain CK Akonnor as Black Stars coach.

“All I want to tell Akonnor is that he should be very firm in each decision that he takes," Appiah said.

"He needs to give the players 100 per cent respect so that they can also respect him.

"I can’t talk about what he should do because every coach has his own philosophy."

Appiah also previously coached Sudanese side Al-Khartoum.

Judging from the poor management of Ghana’s former coach - Avram Grant, It was imperative that Ghanaian fans will turn on him . Coach Avram Grant’s stay in Ghana as the head coach of the senior side and earning close to about 250,000 cedis was seen as greedy and wicked by ordinary citizens who hardly made any income in the supposedly corrupt Government, that was sent packing in the 2016 general elections. Avram Grant left the coaching position and the Country in the first week of February,2017 after repeated speculations that he was going to be fired within that month – could say he prevented a major career disgrace! Avram Grant will surely not be missed by Ghanaians in anyway ,but one person who’s exit from the senior national side was missed by most Ghanaians in the “Don of Grant” was Ghana’s own James Kwesi Appiah ,who managed the senior side from 2012-2014 and went into the record books as the first Ghana
