Kwesi Appiah, a former coach for Ghana, has stated that he is in negotiations to take the position of technical director at Tanzanian club Simba SC.
The 62-year-old is now unattached after being informed that his tenure as the Black Stars’ head coach will end in 2019.
After Appiah underwhelmed at the Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Egypt and the squad was eliminated against Tunisia in the Round of 16, his contract was not renewed.
However, in an interview, the Ghana legend confirmed that talks are in the advanced stage to become the new technical director for Simba SC.
“We are still talking and we are in advanced negotiations. It’s about 70% now,” he told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.
“Hopefully, we conclude everything soon,” he added.
Kwesi Appiah, who has had two separate stints with the Black Stars applied for the vacant position after Otto Addo left the role but the Ghana Football Association [GFA] has appointed Chris Hughton as the new head coach of the four-time African champions.
Appiah, who is also Asante Kotoko legend is famously remembered for leading the Black Stars to book a qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
