Dismissed coach of the Black Stars, Kwesi Appiah has revealed that the under-suspension member of the team, Kevin-Prince Boateng, consistently abused him verbally in Brazil. Appiah, who was relieved of his job by the Ghana Football Association Friday, told Metro TV�s Good Evening Ghana programme Tuesday that the player disrespected both the technical team and the playing body during the team�s World Cup campaign in the Southern American country. �I wouldn�t like to explain everything but when you are showing signs of disrespect to your coach and even to your players, sometimes along the line something must be done. �I thought he is a good player, and I always look at the national interest first so I said let me give him the benefit of the doubt but if you get there and your behaviour will have effect on the younger ones, there is no way I will allow that to happen,� the ex-Ghana international said. �Once someone does something, and you keep telling them and they keep doing the same thing to the extent of sometimes using the �F� word not to me alone, but to my assistant and to everyone, it�s difficult to say everything is okay,� Appiah stated.
