New Head Coach of the Black Stars Kwesi Appiah says he has set his sights on building a team that will stand the test of time.<\/p>\n

The 56 year old began work in his second spell as Black Stars head coach this month after signing a two year contract replaces Israeli Avram Grant who resigned after the AFCON.<\/p>\n

Appiah, has already started working, naming his Black Stars team b squad for the CHAN qualifiers as well as monitoring league centers and attending a couple of launching ceremonies. Speaking at his unveiling on Tuesday, Appiah revealed that he will be aiming to assemble a new team which will make an impact presently and for years to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will do everything within me to make sure that during my term, Ghana not only has a team for today, but also for up to the next ten years. Even if I\u2019m here for only a month, I want to leave that mark on the team. The question is how are we going to continue this project? That is why I need the support of everyone to help make this happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Appiah, played as a left back for Asante Kotoko, between 1983 and 1993, and also represented the Black Stars during his playing days.<\/p>\n
