Former Ghana coach, James Kwasi Appiah has been appointed as the new coach of the Sudanese national team after both parties agreed on terms.
The 63-year old tactician has signed a three-year contract with the Sudanese FA to become their new head coach.
He replaces Yusuf Fartout who oversaw their disastrous AFCON 2023 qualifiers where they finished bottom of the group that had Gabon, Mauritania and Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kwasi Appiah had been working with Division One League side Kenpong FC until he was appointed as the head of the Asante Kotoko Interim Management Team by the Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu II.
He is currently contesting for a slot on the Ghana Football Association’s Executive Committee but with his latest appointment it still remains unclear whether he will still pursue that dream.
Kwesi Appiah was the coach of Sudanese side Al Khartoum from 2014-2017 and also was the assistant coach of the Black Stars from 2007-2012.
He was made the Ghana head coach in 2012 and qualified Ghana for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil before he shown the exit same year.
The former Kotoko player had his third stint with Ghana as the head coach from 2017-2020.
