Kwesi Appiah has dismissed the possibility of returning as head coach of Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars.
Having signed a three-year contract with Sudan earlier this year, Appiah has led the Falcons of Jediane to secure a spot in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
During the qualification campaign, Sudan held Ghana to a goalless draw in Accra and later secured a 2-0 victory against the Black Stars in Benghazi, Libya.
Ghana’s failure to qualify for the upcoming tournament in Morocco has sparked calls for Black Stars head coach Otto Addo to step down.
Asked if he would consider a return, Appiah insisted that he remains committed to his role with Sudan.
“If you are a professional coach, you will have to always keep in mind that you must be ready for any opportunity but as of now, I have a contract with Sudan,” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
“For now, I am focused on what I am doing with Sudan but for now, I don’t want to say anything because I don’t want to contradict myself,” he added.
Appiah previously managed the Black Stars from 2012 to 2014 and again from 2017 to 2020.
He is best remembered for guiding Ghana to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
