Former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah is set to sign his contract as the head coach of Sudan in Saudi Arabia.
The move is a result of political instability in Sudan, which has led the Sudan Football Association to operate from Saudi Arabia.
Appiah, who has a rich coaching background, having led the Black Stars to two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, will be taking charge of the Sudan national team.
He will be assisted by former Techiman Eleven Wonders and Dreams FC coach, Ignatius Osei Fosu, while ex-Black Stars goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda, will serve as the goalkeeper’s trainer.
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.
