    After inviting Mohammed Kudus, I almost lost my position as Ghana’s head coach – Kwasi Appiah

    James Kwasi Appiah, the former Black Stars head coach, acknowledged that he took a major risk by giving debut calls to inexperienced players like Mohammed Kudus.

    The current Kenpong Football Academy coach claims that certain Ghana Football Association officials opposed the decision to give young players call-ups at the cost of older players.

    The coach stated in an interview that he may have been fired if Ghana had fallen short against South Africa in 2019.

    “I was informed that if I lost the match, I would be fired, therefore my career was on the line. I didn’t mind since I believed I was acting in the nation’s best interests.
