Head Coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars of Ghana, Kwesi Appiah has reiterated he will begin player monitoring in January as he continues with his ambition of building a solid team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019.
The gaffer who returned to the national team following his reappointment as Back Stars Coach in May 2017, signed a two year deal with the Football Association and has been tasked to qualify the team to the Africa Cup of Nations and win the tournament.
Appiah, 57, is revered for his eye for good talents and has already given a number of players their debut with most of them impressing in the World Cup and AFCON qualifiers.
The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko player insists he will embark on a monitoring programme in January as he continues to cast his net wide for quality talents to the national team.
“Many Europeans teams are on break now, and hopefully by January they will start, so we will look around in January and go and monitor some of the players we’re not sure, we will go about and look at them.
“The ambition is to make sure you have good players emerging and at the same time, you the coach doing the best you can for the team,” Appiah said in an interview.
