The Ghana Football Association has dismissed reports stating that Kwesi Appiah has been chosen to be the next Black Stars head coach.<\/p>\n

Despite no official news from the football association after receiving over 60 applications from interested coaches, news of Appiah\u2019s second appointment has gained traction in the last few days.<\/p>\n

The Sports Ministry\u2019s stance on Ghana getting a local coach<\/a><\/strong><\/span> seemed to have given credence to the various stories of Appiah\u2019s second coming.<\/p>\n

However, GFA spokesperson, Ibrahim Saane Daara, told Citi Sports that nothing had been firmed up and Appiah had not been given the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reports saying that Kwesi Appiah is the new Black Stars coach are not true.<\/p>\n

\"Football<\/a><\/p>\n

The FA has just finished receiving applications from coaches and the committee tasked to find a new coach is yet to sit down and work on the applications.<\/p>\n

We should ignore these reports and focus on the committee\u2019s work. It will file a report to the Executive Committee of the GFA and any appointments will be made there. It will not be done by a third party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citi Sports sources say that former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, former France captain Marcel Dessaily, Uganda coach Milutin Sredojevic and former Brazil U-23 coach Rogerio Micale also sent their applications for the vacant job.<\/p>\n
