Kwesi Appiah, Ignatius Fosu and Fatau Dauda land in Saudi Arabia for Sudan national team job
By Daniel ODURO, Accra
Former Black Stars coach, James Kwasi Appiah has landed in Saudi Arabia where he is expected to sign the paper works that will officially make him the man to take over as the new head coach of the Sudan national football team.
Appiah and his team have had to fly to Saudi Arabia to sign the deal because of the political instability in Sudan, which has led the Sudanese Football Association to operate from Saudi Arabia.
Appiah who made history as the first Ghanaian coach to qualify Ghana to the senior FIFA World Cup in 2014 will be assisted by two other Ghanaian coaches in the discharge of his duties.
Appiah settled on former Dreams FC and Techiman Eleven Wonders coach Ignatius Fosu as his assistant coach and also picked former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatau Dauda as the Goalkeepers trainer for the Sudan job.
The Ghanaian contingent going to form the Sudan National Team Technical bench will be expected to bring some dynamism in their football.
Appiah’s first task will be to prepare the Sudanese team for their upcoming international assignments against Togo and DR Congo in the World Cup qualifiers.
Despite his new role with Sudan, Appiah will also oversee activities at Asante Kotoko, where he serves as technical director.
Additionally, he recently won a seat on the Ghana Football Association’s Executive Committee following his success at the Elective Congress last week.
