New Black Stars Coach Kwesi Appiah has urged the Ghana Football Association to believe in local Coaches.
Appiah returned to the Ghana post three years after he was sacked by the Football Association.
The ex-Ghana international who finished top among two expatriate Coaches to land the Black Stars job officially begins work next Month.
The former Ghana U23 manager has advised the Nation’s Football governing body to have confidence in local trainers.
“As a Nation the most important thing is for the leaders or the Football Association to have confidence in the local Coaches," He spoke to the BBC.
“I believe there are lots of local Coaches who are competent and good enough and so if they (GFA) believe in local Coaches I don’t think there will be the need to go in for a foreign Coach.”
Kwesi Appiah made history as the first Ghanaian Coach to qualify the Black Stars to the FIFA World Cup.

kwasi you are somehow right in calling on the GFA to believe in local coaches. but the issue here is we have to believe only in competent local coaches. as far as i am concerned you are not competent enough to deserve a second chance with the national team in the first place. the GFA officials who appointed you have done a great disservice to this nation because after brazil 2014 this same GFA thought u weren't good enough for the black stars and sacked you. what changed for these same nation wreckers at GFA to reappoint u? i am not against a local coach but i am for a competent local coach. for Christ's sake your salary is going to be 40,000 dollars a month. what are we going to get in return? is it indiscipline in the team or gross apathy among the players towards the national cause? if what we want as a nation is for any local coach at all to handle the national team then it shouldn't have been kwasi appiah this time. because you have handled the team before. you have made your money at the expense of the nation like all other coaches in the past. therefore the GFA should have given another local coach the chance to prove his worth.
