Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah should leave his post - J.E Sarpong

Published on: 24 July 2019

Former Ebusua Dwarfs head coach J.E Sarpong says Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah should apologise to Ghanaians and leave the scene.

The veteran football coach has urged coach Kwesi Appiah to reconsider his time as head coach of the national team after the team's failure in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The Black Stars were eliminated by Tunisia at the round of 16 stage on penalties and the future of Appiah as remained uncertain amid constant criticism.

“We have individual differences, I have mine and you have yours but if I were Kwesi Appiah, I would apologise to Ghanaians and then leave the scene," Sarpong told Joy Sports.

“Contractual agreements can also force Kwesi to stay on because if he decides to leave, he will have to pay back some money.

"If you sack him, you have to pay him some compensation, so that’s why perhaps Kwesi is still at his post."

The 56-year-old gaffer was re-appointed as head coach of Ghana for the second time in 2017 with a mandate to qualify for and win the 2019 Afcon.

He had a first stint with the national team between 2012 and 2014, and the spell ended by the Black Stars' poor showing at the World Cup in Brazil.

His current contract as Ghana coach expires in December.
