Ghana Coach Calls for Trust in Local Managers

Ghana manager Kwesi Appiah says that the nation should start keeping more faith in local coaches were other than sacking them at the earliest opportunity. It is quite remarkable that Kwesi Appiah is the only manager to have been in charge of the black stars in the last 17 years. However, there have been a lot of calls for his sacking due to Ghana’s poor performance at the Africa Cup of Nations that recently concluded in Egypt. However,Appiah is sad to see the job head out to another foreigner, who is more likely to be his replacement.

The Black Stars brought inAppiah for a second spell in 2017 after the departure of Avram Grant. His first spell started in 2012 and continued until 2014.Appiah has recalled the sad situation in which a foreigner comes into the national team role everyone at two years and then tries to revive the nation’s fortune. The national team has been able to achieve limited success despite possessing a large number of high quality players due to these frequent changes, according to the manager. Even though he has been in charge of the team since 2017, Ghana have been unable to make much of an impact in the second spell.

Even ifAppiah is not sacked, his contract runs out in December and no offer has been presented on the table.“The Black Stars job can be done easily when it comes to the fieldwork but the major work is off the pitch issues.Once you are able to deal with the outside issues, then it should be fine with you.There should a plan [about] what we want for the next five years as Ghanaians. We need to plan for our national team on what we want to achieve for the next five years,” said Appiah.
