The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed James Kwesi Appiah as the substantive head coach of the Black Stars. A statement posted on the website of the GFA on Monday said the Executive Committee of the Association confirmed the appointment of the former Black Stars assistant coach at a meeting in Accra earlier in the day.
It said the meeting was called to discuss the head-hunting exercise undertaken by the GFA to find a permanent Black Stars coach. He takes over from Serbian Goran Stevanovic who was dismissed last month following the poor performance of the Black Stars at the African Cup of Nations tournament hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea whwre they placed fourth.
It said Appiah would meet the Executive Committee of the GFA on Tuesday 'to formalise the deal'.
The former international has been the assistant coach of the Black Stars since since 2008 and led the Black Meteors to win the Gold medal at the 2011 All African Games.
