- Kwesi Appiah, the former head coach of the Black Stars, has been formally named the new head coach of the Sudan national football team.
- Due to the unrest in Sudan, the Sudanese Football Association currently runs from Saudi Arabia, where the 64-year-old coach signed his contract.
- The main objective of Appiah’s three-year contract is to revive football in the country of Northeast Africa. Ignatius Osei Fosu, a former Techiman Eleven Wonders and Dreams FC coach, and Fatau Dauda, an ex-Black Stars goalkeeper who will act as the goalie’s trainer, will help him in this objective.
- One of Appiah’s initial responsibilities is to prepare the Sudanese team for their upcoming international matches against Togo and DR Congo in the World Cup qualifiers. Despite his new role with Sudan, Appiah will continue overseeing operations at Asante Kotoko, where he holds the position of Technical Director and Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).
- As part of his appointment as head coach of the Sudan national team, Kwesi Appiah is set to receive a monthly salary of $50,000.
- In addition to his new position as a coach, Appiah just won a spot on the Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association after winning the election held last week. The extraordinary feat of helping Ghana qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil while serving as the national team coach has earned Kwesi Appiah widespread acclaim.
