Seasoned journalist Kwami Sefa Kayi has advised Sudan’s head coach, James Kwasi Appiah, to steer clear of the Black Stars coaching role.
Sefa Kayi highlighted the ongoing issues and controversies within the Black Stars, suggesting it would be unwise for Appiah to take on the position if approached.
Sharing his thoughts on Peace FM, the Kokrokoo Morning Show host praised Appiah’s remarkable achievement of leading Sudan to their first AFCON qualification in 12 years.
However, he cautioned against any potential return to the Ghana national team coaching role, citing the current challenges surrounding the team.
“I am very happy for Kwasi Appiah. There is no way for him to return to coach the Black Stars. What at all is he coming to do? He should focus on his Sudan job. I even wish they make it to the finals for him to also enjoy,” he said in Twi.
Ghana’s disappointing performance in the AFCON qualifiers saw them finish last in Group F, earning only three points from six games with three defeats and three draws.
Angola and Sudan secured spots in the tournament, leaving Ghana and Niger out of contention. This marks Ghana’s first failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in over two decades.
The poor results have sparked criticism of Otto Addo’s leadership, with some speculating that Kwasi Appiah could be considered to take over the coaching role in the future.
