“He had a conversation with me about my contract and he was thinking of reducing my salary, but I told him look, you can’t reduce my salary, then he should take the job.

“He thought I didn’t deserve the [$35,000] salary I was on and when you do that, you are disrespecting whoever you are dealing with,” Coach Kwesi Appiah said.

Currently, Coach Kwesi Appiah is attempting to take the Black Stars head coach job for the third time.

He has applied to be considered for the vacant head coach job.
