Ghanaian coach Kwasi Appiah is reportedly facing pressure from influential figures to resign from his position as an Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Well-informed journalist Muftawu Nabila Abdulai reported that despite the increasing calls for his resignation, Appiah appears satisfied with his current role and is unlikely to step down.
Abdulai further noted that during a recent Executive Council meeting, Appiah exited when the conversation shifted to matters concerning the Black Stars.
“Grapevines have it that Sudan head coach Kwasi Appiah is being told to resign as an Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association. If Appiah resigns, ‘Chief of Staff’ Michael Bogdan Osekere could be a likely candidate to replace him on the ExCo.
“It doesn’t appear Appiah will step down, though. Apparently, in the last Executive Council meeting, Appiah excused himself when matters of the Black Stars were about to be discussed,” Nabila wrote on X on August 14, 2024.
Pressure on Kwasi Appiah has intensified following the draw that placed his team, Sudan, in the same group as Ghana for the 2025 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
Despite growing criticism and concerns over a possible conflict of interest, Appiah continues to hold his position.
Whether he will ultimately step down remains uncertain.
