Ghana manager Kwesi Appiah has stunned the FA by requesting assistants and the technical team to be completely sacked. As a result, it is expected that the likes of Stephen Appiah and Ibrahim Tanko will lead the national team with immediate effect. Both have a great deal of experience when it comes to work with the national team, but the disappointing African Cup of Nations has led to a string of changes within the national team.Appiah has come under fire for the disappointing tournament that witnessed the team going out of the competition in the second round.

However,Appiah is sad to see the job head out to another foreigner, who is more likely to be his replacement.

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.
