Kwesi Appiah wants to manage Ghana’s national team for the third time

Kwesi Appiah has revealed that he wants to manage Ghana’s national team for the third time but admitted he still has to wait for his former employers to confirm his application. In 2014, Appiah became the first Ghanaian to lead the Black Stars at the World Cup during an initial two-year stint, before returning for a less impressive second spell in charge between April 2017 and January 2020.

But the 62-year-old has submitted his application to the Ghana Football Association in a bid to fill the void created by the departure of Otto Addo after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. A member of the Ghana squad that won the 1982 Africa Cup of Nations, Appiah will be vying for the vacant post alongside as many as 60 foreign coaches.
