Sudan unveils Kwesi Appiah as new head coach

Kwesi Appiah, the former coach of the Black Stars, has been officially unveiled as the new head coach of the Sudanese national football team.

The 64-year-old coach finalized his contract in Saudi Arabia, as the Sudanese Football Association is currently based there due to the ongoing instability in Sudan.

Appiah has committed to a three-year contract with the primary objective of rejuvenating football in the Northeast African nation.

He will be supported in this endeavor by Ignatius Osei Fosu, the former coach of Techiman Eleven Wonders and Dreams FC, as well as former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatau Dauda, who will take on the role of goalkeeper’s trainer.

One of Appiah’s initial tasks is to prepare the Sudanese team for their upcoming international fixtures against Togo and DR Congo in the World Cup qualifiers.

Despite his new responsibilities with Sudan, Appiah will continue to oversee operations at Asante Kotoko, where he serves as the Technical Director and Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC).

Additionally, in a recent development, Appiah secured a position on the Ghana Football Association’s Executive Committee, following his successful election during the recent Elective Congress.

Kwesi Appiah is widely lauded for his notable achievement in leading Ghana to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil during his tenure as the national team coach.
