Sports News of Friday, 3 January 2020Source: GHANAsoccernet.comPresident Akufo-Addo approves Kwesi Appiah’s sacking — ReportPresident of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-AddoPresident of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo is reported to have thrown his weight behind the decision taken by the GFA to sack Kwesi Appiah from his role as head of the Black Stars. The 59-year-old gaffer was relieved off his duty as Black Stars head coach after the Ghana FA dissolved all technical teams of the national teams. President Akufo-Addo has been an advocate for local coaches and was instrumental in the re-appointment of the former Ghana international. The below-par performance from the Black Stars has largely been blamed on Kwesi Appiah who according to critics has failed to create a winnable side since taking over the team two years ago. The ex-international signed a two-year contract in May 2017 for a second stint with the Ghana national team.
