Akwesi Appiah sacked as black star coach

Black Stars head coach Kwesi Appiah has been sacked effective immediately.

This comes after the Ghana Football Association’s decision to dissolve the technical teams of all the country’s national sides with immediate effect.

A statement on the GFA’s website said the decision affects both the men’s and women’s national teams.

This effectively ends the reign of current Black Stars boss Kwesi Appiah whose contract expired in December 2019.

“The GFA extends its appreciation to all coaches and members of the respective national teams for their contributions to our national teams and Ghana football.

“We wish them all the best in their endeavours,” the statement from the GFA added.

It’s unclear why the GFA has taken the decision to collapse the technical teams, given that some of the sides, most notably the Black Stars are in the middle of tournament qualifying campaigns.
