Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), George Afriyie, has reprimanded Kurt Okraku’s decision to sack Kwesi Appiah as the head coach of the Black Stars.
Appiah’s excusal happened not long after Okraku assumed control over the presidency of the GFA, following Ghana’s exit in the Round of 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt. He was supplanted by his right hand, CK Akonnor.
Right now coaching the Sudanese national team, Appiah as of late driven them to a 2-0 victory over the Black Stars in a 2025 AFCON qualifier, after a goalless draw in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In light of Appiah’s new accomplishment with Sudan, Afriyie explained on the thinking behind Appiah’s underlying arrangement by the past GFA organization, drove by Kwesi Nyantakyi, and scrutinized Okraku’s choice to let him go.
“We ought to credit Kwesi Appiah for the steady employment he has done. He had areas of strength for a group and great players when Kurt Okraku was casted a ballot into office as leader of the Ghana Football Association (GFA),” he told Asempa FM.
“Kwesi Nyantakyi’s organization chose to name Kwesi Appiah in light of the fact that we understood that he has delegated two Serbian mentors, thus he has insight. We shouldn’t fail to remember that he even engineered Ghana’s 6-1 win over Egypt to qualify us for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“What occurred in Brazil, we as a whole realize that it was not his shortcoming on the grounds that the Games Clergyman was set up to flop however when Kurt Okraku dominated, he said he didn’t need Kwesi Appiah and he persuaded Akufo Addo that he should be sacked.
“At the point when Kwesi Appiah met Ghana in the AFCON qualifiers, it was a compensation time, and he has done that magnificently well. That is nature,” Afriyie added.
Because of Ghana’s misfortune to Sudan, the Black Stars sit third in Gathering F with only two focuses from four matches, while Appiah’s Sudan holds runner up with seven places.
For Ghana to meet all requirements for the following year’s AFCON competition, they will require Sudan to lose their leftover gathering matches against Niger and Angola.
In the mean time, Ghana is set to confront similar groups in their last gathering games one month from now.
