Appiah, who led Ghana to book a place in the 2014 World Cup Brazil in an interview confirmed that he has applied for the vacant Black Stars coaching role.

The Black Stars job has been vacant following Otto Addo's resignation following the country's early elimination at the 2022 Mundial in Qatar.

According to Coach Sarpong, the current Ghana Football Association (GFA), led by Kurt Okraku will not hire him for the job.

“Kwesi Appiah should not involve himself with these GFA people. Looking at the circumstances under which he left the Black Stars, he should have advised himself that there are clubs in the country he can coach, but why is he always going after the national team?" he told Accra-based Happy FM.

“In Egypt, look at how people insulted and abused him. So he hasn’t learned a lesson from it. The chances are that they will not give him the job. So why is he going there? “These are the same people who fired you.

“Is it the right time for Kwesi Appiah to return to the Black Stars? “Do you think these people, whom you washed in public, will be able to work with you?” “Where he is heading is on slippery ground," he added.

The GFA is expected to name a new coach before Ghana’s next assignment in March in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
