Appiah was reappointed as Black Stars coach in 2017, taking over from Israeli manager Avram Grant.
However, his tenure came to an end on December 31, 2019 after the GFA declined the chance to have it renewed.
This was followed by a complete dissolution of the technical teams of all the national teams by the FA.
