Coach Kwesi Appiah insists his two years contract is not enough

Published on: 22 October 2018

Coach Kwesi Appiah has insisted that his two-year contract given to him by the then Kwesi Nyantakyi’s administration isn’t sufficient to archive his targets.

The Black Stars head coach was handed a two-year deal in May 2017 after the exit of Avram Grant under the leadership of Kwesi Nyantakyi as the president of the Ghana FA.

And according to the 58-year-old, for a coach to build a strong and long-term team, he would need more than two years to successfully achieve that target.

“I believe if you want to build a team towards a future then two years isn’t enough,” Appiah told Kumasi based Silver FM.

"Looking at my two years given it’s not enough and for me even if you given one year, within the one year you have to prove what you can do, do the best that you can and I’m doing what I can but at the end of the day if managers of our football think I’ve done well and they want me to continue, that’s fine,”

"But again if it happens that you leaving within the one year, you have to leave a trademark for anyone that will replace you won’t find it difficult to continue,” he added.

Quizzed whether he would want his contract with the Ghana Football Association renewed after the expiration of his initial two-year contract he said, “The most important thing is in every work like you being a journalist, your contract will be extended with your work done SO if football people look at my work done and they feel it’s appreciable then fine, they can decide to extend it for me BUT all will depend on me,”.

The former Al Khartoum gaffer has been tasked by the FA to win 2019 AFCON in Cameroon.
